Self-Defence - "Notwithstanding, " says Grove, "the great names which may appear on the side of any of these opinions, I cannot but think self-defence, though it proceeds to the killing of another to
Save one's self, is in common cases not barely permitted, but enjoined by nature; and that a man would be wanting to the Author of his being, to society, and to himself, to abandon that life with which he is put in trust. This being so, I ask, whence should arise the obligation to let another kill me, rather than venture to
Save myself by destroying my enemy? It cannot arise from a regard to society, which, by my suffering another to kill me, loses two lives; that of an honest man by unjust violence, and that of his murderer, if it can be called a loss, by the hand of justice. Nor, for the same reason, can there be any such obligation arising from the love of our neighbour; since I do not really

Saved him out of all his troubles’ (

Hosanna - ): ânnâ Jahweh hôshî‘âh-nnâ (‘I beseech thee, O Lord,
Save now’).
Psalms 118:25, whence it is taken) ‘Save now. ’ The now is not here an adverb of time, but an interjection of entreaty, as in ‘Come now’: the word means ‘Oh!
Save’ (Jewish Encyc. ), or ‘Save, we beseech Thee. The sequence of the thoughts is natural: for if Jesus be once conceived of as able to
Save (either by His own power or by that of Him that sent Him), the next thing, obviously, for His people to do, after asking Him to exert His power in their behalf, is to rejoice that He has come, and to bless Him for coming. But it seems unnatural to postulate so violent an alteration in the meaning of the word—from ‘supplication’ to ‘gratulation,’ when, taken in its original meaning, it yields a sufficient sense: ‘Save now, for it is to thee, O Son of David, that the power to
Save us has been given

Supralapsarians - Persons who hold that God, without any regard to the good or evil works of men, has resolved, by an eternal decree, supra lapsum, antecedently to any knowledge of the fall of Adam, and independently of it, to
Save some and reject others: or, in other words, that God intended to glorify his justice in the condemnation of some, as well as his mercy in the salvation of others; and, for that purpose, decreed that Adam, should necessarily fall. ...
The decree of the means includes the decree to create men to permit them to fall, to recover them out of it through redemption by Christ, to sanctify them by the grace of the Spirit, and completely
Save them; and which are not to be reckoned as materially many decrees, but as making one formed decree; or they are not to be considered as subordinate, but as co-ordinate means, and as making up one entire complete medium; for it is not to be supposed that God decreed to create man, that he might permit him to fall, in order to redeem, sanctify, and
Save him; but he decreed all this that he might glorify his grace, mercy, and justice. Which calumny is, that, according to them, God made man to damn him; whereas, according to their real sentiments, God decreed to make man, and made man neither to damn him nor
Save him, but for his own glory, which end is answered in them some way or other. Again; we require them to reconcile this system with many express declarations of Scripture, which inform us that God would have al men to be
Saved

Faith -
James 2:14-26, "though a man say he hath faith, and have not works, can (such a) faith

Save the humble but bring low those whose eyes are haughty" (
Psalm 18:25,27 ). Here again, the people of God have hope in the "The Deliverer" (

Crucified - Oh, for grace, with Paul, to determine "to know nothing among men,
Save Jesus Christ and him crucified!" And with the same holy indignation as he felt, against every thing that would check the ardour of his love, to cry out, "God forbid that I should glory,
Save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me and I unto the world!" (
Galatians 6:14)...
Obadiah - Edom shall be humbled and despoiled (2-7), no wisdom can
Save her (8-10), because she has rejoiced in the distress of Israel (11-14), God will punish all nations (15-16); while Israel shall be
Saved, Edom shall perish (17-18)
Moses - (Hebrew: Mosheh, "saved from the waters") ...
Hebrew liberator, law giver, and prophet. Having killed an Egyptian to
Save one of his brethren from ill-treatment,he fled to Madian where he married Jethro's daughter (Exodus 2). Only a few can be enumerated here: The Passage of the Red Sea and the Canticle of Moses (Exodus 14-15); the Manna (16); the promulgation of the Law on Mount Sinai (19-31); the many revolts of the people, who are
Saved each time by the intervention of their leader (Exodus 16; Numbers 13-14,21); the march from Mount Sinai to Cades, and the stay at Cades for 38 years during which the present generation is condemned never to enter the Promised Land (Numbers 10-20); Moses himself is excluded from it because of his lack of confidence at the "Waters of Contradiction" (ib

Note: The Jewish method of "scourging," as described in the Mishna, was by the use of three thongs of leather, the offender receiving thirteen stripes on the bare breast and thirteen on each shoulder, the "forty stripes
Save one," as administered to Paul five times (
2 Corinthians 11:24 )
Beast - ...
In a rare use of the word, it signifies a “riding animal,” such as a horse or mule: “And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me,
Save the beast that I rode upon” (
Serpent, Brazen - for he that turned himself toward it was not
Saved by the thing that he saw, but by Thee that art the Saviour of all. " The brazen serpent typified the Son of man, in that...
(1) the brazen serpent had the form without the venom of the deadly serpent; just as Jesus was "in the likeness of sinful flesh" yet "without sin" (
Romans 8:3), "made sin for us" though He "knew no sin" (
2 Corinthians 5:21); the brazen serpent seemed the most unlikely means of curing the serpents' bites; so the condemned One seemed most unlikely to
Save the condemned. ...
(2) The brazen serpent lifted up on the pole so as to be visible with its bright brass (which also is typical:
Revelation 1:15) to the remotest Israelite answers to Jesus "evidently set forth before the eyes, crucified" (
Galatians 3:1), so that "all the ends of the earth" by "looking unto" Him may "be
Saved" (
Isaiah 45:22), "lifted up from the earth," and so "drawing all men unto Him" (
John 12:32-34). ...
(3) The cure of the body by looking naturally typifies the cure of the soul by looking spiritually; faith is the eye of the soul turned to the Saviour (
Hebrews 12:2), a look from however far off
Saves (
Hebrews 7:25;
Ephesians 2:17;
Acts 2:39); the bitten Israelite, however distant, by a look was healed

Saved, Edom shall perish (17-18)

Save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?" Gideon pleaded that his family was poor, and that he was the least in his father's house. But his small though true faith wanted a sign from God that He would
Save Israel by him. God declared that Gideon's followers were too many: they would take the glory to themselves, and say, "mine own hand hath
Saved me
am ha'Arez - At the Exile we are told ‘none were left
Save the very poor of the people of the land’ (רַלַח עַם חָאָרָץ
2 Kings 24:14). ’ Montefiore in his Hibbert Lectures denies that such sharp cleavage between the Hăsidim and the ‘am hâ’ârez ever existed
Save in the minds of later Rabbis who had difficulty in defining ‘am hâ’ârez, and consequently he questions the authenticity of
John 7:49, but on insufficient grounds
Selfishness - To pour out oneself in love, to lose oneself for Christ’s sake, to give oneself to God and to the world of men, is ‘to find,’ ‘to
Save’ oneself in Him. ‘What is a man profited,’ Christ asks, ‘if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?’ To preserve and to
Save his soul is thus a man’s highest profit, his one great task. But to seek to
Save it in the worldly sense is to lose it in the spiritual and eternal

Save the business of the silversmiths in Ephesus (
Acts 19:23-27 )

Save that it was in the territory of Judah (
Joshua 15:56 ) and was the native place of one of David’s wives, Abinoam (

Abortion - ...
Indirect abortion is sometimes permitted, provided that there be sufficient and grave reason, such as the saving of the mother's life, and that every precaution be taken to
Save the life of the child and, in case the child's life be in danger, that it receive timely baptism
Hind - " (Song of
Song of Solomon 2:17) And who shall speak of the earnestness of the Lord Jesus to come over the mountains of sin, and hills of corruption, in our nature, when he came to seek and
Save that which was lost? Who shall describe those numberless anticipations which we find in the Old Testament of Jesus, in appearing sometimes as an angel, and sometimes in an human from? as if to say, how much he longed for the time to come, when he should openly appear, in the substance of our flesh, as "the hind of the morning!"...
And there is another beautiful resemblance in the hind, or roe, to Christ, in the loveliness as well as swiftness of this beautiful creature
Lose, Loss, Lost - ,
Matthew 10:42 , of "losing" a reward;
Luke 15:4 (1st part), of "losing" a sheep;

Intercession - Abraham asked God not to destroy Sodom in order to
Save his nephew Lot. Jeremiah responded to God's word of judgment on the nation with a plea for God not to be a stranger among them who could not
Save themselves (
Jeremiah 14:7-9 )
Thieves - The two crucified with Jesus were probably such: the taunt of the one, "if Thou be Christ,
Save Thyself and us," implies sympathy with the Jews' fanatical zeal for national and individual deliverance from Roman rule: they probably were among Barabbas' fellow insurgents, and were doomed to die with him; but he was released, and they were left to their fate. Then he said to Jesus, "Lord remember me": he might have said, Lord
Save me from this agonizing cross, as the other said in taunt; but recognizing him as "Lord" by the Holy Spirit (
1 Corinthians 12:3), he leaves the mode of blessing for the All-wise and Loving One to decide. ...
The place on Christ's right hand in the kingdom, desired by Zebedee's sons, was reserved for the penitent thief, first in the kingdom of suffering, then in the kingdom of glory, His case proves that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law, yet not by a dead faith, for his faith evidenced its vitality by confession of sin and of Christ crucified, by faithful reproof of the scorner if haply he too might be led to repent, by humility, and by hope in the Saviour looking beyond present pain to the eternal state; also that baptism is only "generally "necessary to salvation, a baptized man may be lost and an unbaptized man may be
Saved; the baptism of blood supplied the place of the outward sign of regeneration (Hilary, de Trin

Revelation, Book of - Many were confused, for it seemed that Jesus Christ, the almighty king whom they expected to return in triumph, was either unable or unwilling to
Save them from the power of Rome. In God’s time he would return to punish all enemies,

Perdition - Jesus came ‘to seek and to
Save that which was lost’ (τὸ ἀπολωλός,
Luke 19:10), those who were still alive, not destroyed. The contrast, however, is sharply drawn in
Philippians 1:28 and
Hebrews 10:39 between those who are
Saved and those who fall into perdition; cf
Thyatira - I will put upon you none other burden (save abstinence from and protestation against these abominations: this the seducers regarded as an intolerable burden, see

Save our souls” goes back to this biblical way of thinking (

Salvation - The primary saving event in the Old Testament is the Exodus (
Exodus 14:13 ) which demonstrated both God's power to
Save and God's concern for His oppressed people (
Exodus 34:6-7 ). Through such encounters Jesus fulfilled the goal of His ministry: “to seek and to
Save that which was lost” (
Luke 19:10 ). With reference to Christ's atoning work, the believer can confess, “I was
Saved when Jesus died for me. We are
Saved for good works (
Ephesians 2:10 ). ...
(2) The perseverance of the saints: Assurance of salvation is grounded in confidence that God is able to finish the good work begun in us (
Philippians 1:6 ), that God who sacrificed His Son for sinners (
Romans 5:8-9 ) will not hold back anything necessary to
Save one of his children (
Romans 8:32 ), and that nothing can separate us from God's love in Christ (
Romans 8:35-39 )

Widow - (The feeling among Jews and Gentiles being against second marriages, the desire for conciliation in matters indifferent, where no principle was compromised, accounts for this rule in the case of bishops, deacons, and presbyteresses, whose aim was to be all things to all men that by all means they might

Merits - Even the captain did not seem very grateful; so our hero ventured, in a roundabout style to hint, that such valuable services as his, having
Saved the vessel, ought to be rewarded at least with some few words of acknowledgment; when he was shocked to hear the captain say, 'What, sir, do you think you
Saved the vessel? Why, I gave you that rope to hold to keep you engaged, that you might not be in such a feverish state of alarm. They think they can certainly
Save themselves, and there they stand holding the rope with their clenched teeth and their feet tightly fixed, while they are really doing no more than our officious friend, who was thus befooled
Flesh - Salvation is of GOD, and only GOD can
Save by revealing Himself to the soul. ...
Romans 7:5 (a) This expression is used to describe those who do not have the Spirit of GOD, are not
Saved, and are called "sensual" in the book of Jude
Soul, Spirit - Soul is often employed to express the moral undying part of man's being, and it is used sometimes to signify the person: as "all the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt,"

Save in Egypt, where Lucius, the Arian successor of Athanasius, endeavoured in vain to terrify the monks into conformity
Salvation - From other words denoting deliverance ‘to
Save’ is distinguished by the constant presence of two elements, that of a delivering agent, and that of an active interposition on his part for the removal of actual evil or peril. In a few passages the conception is directly transferred from the national-political to the purely religious sphere, sin being named as the evil from which Israel or the individual is
Saved (
Ezekiel 36:29, Psalms 51:14).
Sirach 51:12 (ἐξ ἀτωλείας), Wisdom of Solomon 16:7,
Judith 9:11, Enoch 48:7 (of ‘the Son of Man’; ‘in his name are they being
Saved, and he is the God of their life’) 50:3 (eschatological-negative, mere salvation without glory) 63:8,
4 Ezr 6:25, 7:131, 9:8, 12:34, 13:26, 8:39 (the righteous shall he satisfied with salvation in connexion with the Messiah), Ps-
Sol 6:2, 10:8, 12:6, 18:6,
Baruch 4:22;
Baruch 4:24;
Baruch 4:29, Test. 8,
Jub 23:29, 1 Maccabees 4:30;
1 Maccabees 9:9, 4 Maccabees 11:7;
4 Maccabees 15:3 (‘piety which
Saves unto eternal life’)
4 Maccabees 15:27. ’ The Authorized Version accordingly renders in most of these cases ‘to make whole’ or ‘be whole,’ in two ‘to heal’ (
Mark 5:23, Luke 8:36), in one ‘to do well’ (
John 11:12), and only once ‘to
Save’ (
Luke 18:42). In one instance it offers ‘to
Save’ as a marginal reading for ‘to make whole’ (
Mark 10:52). Revised Version NT 1881, OT 1885 everywhere follows the rendering of Authorized Version except that it makes the two passages where the latter has ‘to heal’ and the one passage where it has ‘to
Save’ uniform with the others; further, that it renders in
John 11:12 ‘to recover,’ and that it offers in all passages except
Mark 6:56 the marginal alternative ‘to
Save. According to
Mark 5:23, the purpose of ‘being
Saved ‘is ‘to live. It is true that in some instances the disease or infirmity from which Jesus
Saves is not fatal in itself, e. The words ‘thy faith has
Saved thee’ are on these occasions the same as were used in such a case of purely spiritual salvation as is recorded
Luke 7:50
Agony - John gives no report of the scene in Gethsemane, yet in his account of the interview of Jesus with the Greeks there is introduced what seems to be a faint reminiscence: ‘Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father,
Save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. Much more confident can we be that Gethsemane is referred to in
Hebrews 5:7-8 ‘Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to
Save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear; though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered. If the love of Christ has constrained many martyrs for His name to face rack and block, water and flame, and many other painful modes of death without shrinking, and even with the song of praise upon the lips, is it at all likely that He Himself shrank back?...
(2) A more ingenious view, which has an apparent verbal justification in
Matthew 26:38, Mark 14:34 (‘even unto death’), and
Hebrews 5:7 (‘to
Save him from death’), is that Jesus felt Himself dying, and that He feared He would die before He could offer the great sacrifice for the sin of the world. That the truth and grace of God in Him should meet with this insult and injury from the race which He had come to
Save and bless—this it was that caused His agony. Must this antagonism of sin to God be forced to its ultimate issue? Could He not
Save mankind by some mode of sacrifice that would involve the men concerned in it in less heinous guilt? Must He by persevering in His present course drive His enemies to do their worst against Him, and thus by His fidelity to His vocation must He involve all who opposed Him in this greater iniquity? That such questions cannot have been present to the mind of Jesus, who can confidently affirm? He foresaw the doom of the guilty nation, and He also saw that it was the crime about to be committed against Him that would seal its doom. His prayer was answered, for He was
Saved from death, inasmuch as the experience of darkness and desolation was momentary, and ere He gave up the ghost He was able to commit Himself with childlike trust unto His Father
the Man Who Went Out to Borrow Three Loaves at Midnight - How needful it will be for our Lord to come and
Save us in the evening of our life, and at the decline of our days! O

Samuel, First Book of - Israel was smitten before the Philistines; but instead of turning to the Lord and confessing their sins, they sent for the ark of the covenant, saying that it should
Save them, and made a great shout; but God was not in this act, the Israelites were smitten, including the two sons of Eli, and the ark was captured by the Philistines. After twenty years the people lamented after the Lord, and Samuel said they must put away their strange gods, and prepare their hearts to the Lord and serve Him only, and He would
Save them. God caused Saul the son of Kish providentially to go where Samuel was, and then pointed him out as the one to be anointed as king, that he might
Save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. On Samuel presenting him to them — a man taller than the rest of the people, and consequently approved according to man's natural judgement — they shouted "God
Save the king. Saul however
Saved the best of the sheep and oxen under the plea of these being for sacrifice. Michal also protected him and
Saved his life. When this had taken place three times, Saul went himself, but the Spirit of God came upon him also, and he prophesied: David was
Saved
Lot - " From the words of warning in

Means - " When the Apostle says, "I am become all things to all men, that I may by all means
Save some," he is simply speaking of his accommodating himself to various human conditions consistently with fidelity to the truth, with no unscriptural compliance with men, but in the exercise of self denial; "by all means" refers to the preceding context from
1 Corinthians 9:18 , and stresses his desire to be used in the salvation of some
Eschatology - The one who died to

Hebrews, Letter to the - In his great humility Christ became a human being, willingly taking a temporarily lower position than angels in order to

Saturninus - Then the Supreme Father sent a Saviour to destroy the power of the God of the Jews and the other Archons; and to
Save those who had the spark of life in them—that is to say, the good
Humility - In an act of total self-denial, the eternal Son of God humbled himself to the extent of taking human form and in the end dying to
Save sinners (
Philippians 2:5-11)
Grace - ...
Saved by God’s grace...
The only way people have ever been forgiven their sin and
Saved from condemnation is by God’s grace, and they receive this salvation through faith (
Ephesians 2:8). People have never been
Saved through obeying the law or offering sacrifices (
Romans 3:24-26;
Galatians 3:17-22). He chooses to
Save people because of his sovereign grace alone, not because of their good works (
Romans 11:6;
Ephesians 1:5-6; see ELECTION)
Sacrifices in the Old Testament - The animal was then slain, regularly by the offerer,
Save in the case of birds, which were killed by the priest. These food-offerings accompanied every holocaust and peace-offering, but never sacrifices for sin or guilt,
Save at the cleansing of a leper

Hosea - Assyria, the great northern power, which Israel foolishly regards as her friend to
Save her from her acknowledged calamities, Hosea foresees will be her destroyer (

Hosea 8:9;
Hosea 12:1;
Hosea 14:3;
Hosea 3:4;
Hosea 10:6;
Hosea 11:11). ) But an act revolting to a pure mind would hardly be ordained by God
Save in vision, which serves all the purposes of a vivid and as it were acted prophecy
Jealousy (2) - Sometimes, again, it is quite explicit: ‘No one knoweth the Son
Save the Father; neither doth any know the Father
Save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him’ (
Matthew 11:27)
Forgiveness - This is very rare in the Gospels (it is never attributed to Christ Himself,
Save in quotations and in the institution of the Eucharist in
Matthew 26:28 -not in the parallels). in the sense of forgiveness,
Save in a quotation (
Romans 4:7, from
Psalms 32:1)
Philippians, Theology of - Most profoundly God stooped down in the person of his incarnate Son to
Save his people from destruction and to provide for them the very righteousness he demanded from them. Rather, Jesus was God's humble servant, the Anointed of the Lord, sent not only to Israel but to the world, to show them his strength by his weakness; his power to
Save people, not from Rome, but from death by his own death upon a cross; his ability to reverse the destructive forces not of the emperor but of the Evil One by his resurrection from the dead. He was God's Anointed, God's "Christ" par excellence!...
Paul came to understand all this as a result of having encountered the living, resurrected Christ on the road to Damascus, who, in a moment, had transferred him out of the kingdom of darkness, freed him from the power of evil,
Saved him from his sin, and gave him life instead of death. It was this message, then, that he preached to the Philippians: God's action to
Save the world through Christ, the long-expected Messiah (1:15-18,27; 3:9,18). God himself has acted to
Save. For by Christ and only by him God has worked in a truly indescribable way to
Save human beings, to reconcile them to himself, to bring them out of slavery to sin, out of desperation and despair into hope, out of death into life
May Laws - Salaries due from the state were withheld from episcopal administrators and bishops until they would write their submission to the laws of the state; religious orders were dissolved

Galatians 1:19 )
Righteousness - ...
"Righteousness is not said to be imputed to the believer
Save in the sense that faith is imputed ("reckoned' is the better word) for righteousness
Baxterians - He taught that God had elected some, whom he is determined to
Save, without any foresight of their good works; and that others to whom the Gospel is preached have common grace, which if they improve, they shall obtain saving grace, according to the doctrine of Arminius. The conditional grant is universal: Whosoever believeth shall be
Saved
Eagle - ...
The eagle "hovers over her young" in teaching them their first flight, ready in a moment to
Save them when in danger of falling on the rocks below
Works - Because sinners cannot
Save themselves, they must rely on the grace of God, not on their own works (
Ephesians 2:8-9 ;
Titus 3:4-7 ). True believers are
Saved because their lives are built on the solid foundation of Christ Himself
Night - The sinner is living in the dark and so the sacrifice is constantly being offered for him in order that he may be
Saved any time that he will came to the altar to find the Saviour. There is no time in the sinner's life when he may not come and find the Saviour ready to
Save him. The
Saved man enters into the morning time of blessing, while the unsaved man enters into the night of sorrow and suffering. ...
1 Thessalonians 5:5 (a) This is one of the many ways in which the Lord assures us that those who are His children
Saved by grace, and brought into His marvelous light, do not belong to the kingdom of darkness, nor do they accept the theology of those who are in the dark
Name - " As we pass along the streets of life and realize that We need to be
Saved from our sins, and from the penalty of them, We find this wonderful Man whose Name is Saviour, and we at once commit our cause and our case to Him. " Certainly we are
Saved when JESUS CHRIST becomes our Lord. Those who appeal to Him in this way find He is ready and willing to
Save

Praetorium - It is true that the proximity of Antonia to the Temple would be a convenience to the priests and Sanhedrists, and
Save them from the toil of attendance at the more remote palace: but Pilate was not the man to study the wishes or comfort of the Jewish leaders at the cost of any discomfort to himself
Camel - Many of the Amalekite warriors, who burnt Ziklag in the time of David, were mounted on camels; for the sacred historian remarks, that of the whole army not a man escaped the furious onset of that heroic and exasperated leader, "save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled,"

Lord, Lordship - A — 1: κύριος (Strong's #2962 — Noun Masculine — kurios — koo'-ree-os ) properly an adjective, signifying "having power" (kuros) or "authority," is used as a noun, variously translated in the NT, "'Lord,' 'master,' 'Master,' 'owner,' 'Sir,' a title of wide significance, occurring in each book of the NT

Drink - This verb sometimes means “to banquet” (which included many activities in addition to just eating and drinking), or “participating in a feast”: “… Behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God
Save king Adonijah” (
1 Kings 1:25)
Day - On Joseph’s lips, the phrase connotes “this present result” (literally, “as it is this day”): “But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to
Save much people alive” (
Daniel the Prophet - Darius spent the night in fasting, and in the morning he found that Daniel's God had been able to

Save when he was bestowing advice about mundane matters
Hymn - 21 (Jesus shall
Save) can he elucidated only by Hebrew—not Aramaic—phraseology (יושִׁיעַ,יִשׁוּעַ). ]'>[15] seem really to be later amplifications due to liturgical influence, when ὡσαννά (which in its Hebrew form הושע־נא is really a cry addressed to God, ‘Save now!’) was misunderstood as a shout of homage or greeting = ‘Hail!’ or ‘Glory to. ), ingeniously paraphrases, ‘Save us, we beseech Thee, O Thou
in the highest,’ taking ἐν τοίς ὑψίστοις as a substitute for the Divine name
Salvation - Of the many Hebrew words used to signify salvation, yasa
(to
Save, help in distress, rescue, deliver, set free) appears most frequently in the Old Testament. None but God can
Save (
Isaiah 43:14 ;
Hosea 1:7 ). While salvation is a fait accompliGod
Saved Israel from slavery in Egypt unto a covenant relationship with himselfIsrael still awaits God's salvation. God had
Saved Israel in the past, and therefore God can be expected to deliver in the future. In Matthew's Gospel the angel tells Joseph that Mary's child is conceived of the Holy Spirit, and that he is "to give him the name Jesus, because he will
Save his people from their sins" (1:21-23). The disciples themselves responded to Jesus' teaching about the kingdom with the question "Who then can be
Saved?" (
Mark 10:23-26 ). And if Christ demonstrated his love by dying when we were still sinners, how much more shall we now be
Saved by his life? (
Romans 5:8-10 ). In hope we were
Saved (
Romans 8:24 ). Yet the cross is the power of God for those who are being
Saved (
1 Corinthians 1:18 )
Will of God - Like Abraham, others played significant roles in the outworking of God's will to
Save (
Acts 13:36 ); at each point God's will was determinative and could not be circumvented (
Luke 7:30 ). ...
Does the New Testament teach that it is God's will that all be
Saved, and therefore none will be lost? Two passages relate God's will to the expansiveness of the salvation plan. First
Timothy 2:3-4 states, "God our Savior wills (thelei ) all men to be
Saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. " It should be emphasized that neither text says that all will be
Saved regardless of their disposition toward the gospel. The second text similarly relates God's will to
Save the all-inclusive "anyone" to the volitional element involved in repentance. Consequently, while these texts tell us that God's will to
Save extends to all people, and that he desires to
Save rather than to condemn, they do not remove the necessary element of the faith-response to the gospel
Exodus, Book of - ...
Summary of contents...
God saw how the Israelites were oppressed in Egypt (1:1-22), and prepared Moses to be the deliverer to
Save them. There God revealed himself to Moses as Yahweh, the eternal and self-sufficient God who would use Moses to
Save his people from Egypt (3:1-4:17; see YAHWEH)
Jonah - His prediction of national expansion for the Northern Kingdom, evidently made early in the reign, expressed God's longing to
Save His people, wicked though they were. In Jewish exposition the incident was given a negative interpretation as a threat from which Jonah had to be
Saved
Revelation - ...

Save people fully from the consequences of their sin and bring them into a right relation with God
Elisha - ...

Rest (And Forms) - " The work and Person of CHRIST are sufficient to satisfy GOD, and to
Save the soul
Hindrance - ...
The Cross that made God the sacrificer and suppliant, and called for faith in a Saviour who could not
Save Himself, was a stumbling-block or offence to the wisdom of the world, and to all its religious traditions (
Romans 9:33, 1 Corinthians 1:23;
1 Peter 2:8)
Camp - In
Psalm 80:2 we read "Before Ephraim, and Benjamin, and Manasseh, stir upthy strength, and come and
Save us
Lion - "The Lion of the tribe of Judah" is gone up from the prey, and he alone hath power to kill and to
Save
Aaron (2) - Christ was indeed divinely appointed: He was prepared for service, in being made like His brethren (
Hebrews 2:17), and fitted by His sympathy (
Hebrews 4:15) and fidelity to undertake priestly work on their behalf; through His death on the cross He offered Himself as a sacrifice, apparently on earth and certainly in heaven as a temple not made with hands (
Hebrews 9:24); He is able to
Save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him as priest, seeing He ever lives to make priestly intercession for them (
Hebrews 7:25)
Teeth - These expected GOD to follow out their own plan, and to
Save them on their own terms
Judge - He who once came to
Save, will one day come to be our Judge; he who then acted as our Redeemer, will then appear as our Sovereign and our King
Salvation - " For, to be
Saved as Christ
Saves, is to have all our innumerable sins and transgressions forgiven and blotted out; all those heavy loads of guilt which oppressed our souls perfectly removed from our minds. ...
Finally, to be
Saved as Christ came to
Save mankind, is to be translated, after this life is ended, into a state of eternal felicity, never more to die or suffer, never more to know pain and sickness, grief and sorrow, labour and weariness, disquiet, or vexation, but to live in perfect peace, freedom, and liberty, and to enjoy the greatest good after the most perfect manner for ever
That - In this case, that is not strictly a pronoun, a word standing for a noun but is, so to speak, a pro-sentence, the substitute for a sentence, to
Save the repetition of it
Miracles - But it is manifest that this is a false analogy; for the reason why machines are made is to
Save us trouble; and, therefore, they are more perfect in proportion as they answer this purpose
Population - ‘Save in the recorded hours of our Lord’s praying, the history of Galilee has no intervals of silence and loneliness; the noise of a close and busy life is always audible; and to every crisis in the Gospels and in Josephus we see crowds immediately swarm’ (HGHL
Salvation Save Saviour - -σώζειν (‘to Save’) is generally used for spiritual deliverance. In James 5:15 (‘the prayer of faith shall Save him that is sick’) σώζειν is interpreted of bodily healing by many commentators; but the general context of a chapter which as a whole relates to what is spiritual, the immediate context associating forgiveness of sins with the particular command (‘and, if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him’), and the use of the word ‘healed’ in the next verse to denote healing from sin, concur to indicate that here also the word, as usually in the Epistles, means spiritual deliverance. Any difficulty in understanding ἐγείρω in ‘the Lord shall raise him up’ of spiritual succour is less than that of explaining ‘the prayer of faith shall Save’ of bodily healing in this context. Christians are spoken of as those who have been Saved, and who are in possession of a salvation which they can use or neglect: ‘By grace have ye been Saved,’ ‘By grace have ye been Saved through faith’ (Ephesians 2:5; Ephesians 2:8); ‘According to his mercy he Saved us’ (Titus 3:5); ‘How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?’ (Hebrews 2:3). Those who now have been justified by Christ’s blood have yet to be Saved through Him from the wrath (Romans 5:9); and those who have been reconciled to God through Christ’s death have yet to be Saved by His life (Romans 5:10). Peter’s speech in Acts 4:12 it is said that ‘in none other’ than ‘Jesus Christ of Nazareth’ ‘is there salvation; for neither is there any other name under heaven that is given among men whereby we must be Saved. Peter’s speech at the Council of Jerusalem in Acts 15:11 belief is expressed ‘that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be Saved, even as they
Faith - To the most unlettered Christian this then will be very obvious, that true and saving faith in Christ consists both of assent and trust; but this is not a blind and superstitious trust in the sacrifice of Christ, like that of the Heathens in their sacrifices; nor the presumptuous trust of wicked and impenitent men, who depend on Christ to
Save them in their sins; but such a trust as is exercised according to the authority and direction of the word of God; so that to know the Gospel in its leading principles, and to have a cordial of belief in it, is necessary to that more specific act of faith which is called reliance, or in systematic language, fiducial assent. The degree of sorrow for sin, and alarm upon this discovery of our danger as sinners, is no where fixed to a precise standard in Scripture; only it is supposed every where, that it is such as to lead men to inquire earnestly, "What shall I do to be
Saved? " and with earnest seriousness to use all the appointed means of grace, as those who feel that their salvation is at issue, that they are in a lost condition, and must be pardoned or perish. ) Is it only the assent of the mind to the method by which God justifies the ungodly by faith in the sacrifice of his Son, although this is an element of it; but it is a hearty concurrence of the will and affections with this plan of salvation, which implies a renunciation of every other refuge, and an actual trust in the Saviour, and personal apprehension of his merits: such a belief of the Gospel by the power of the Spirit of God as leads us to come to Christ, to receive Christ, to trust in Christ, and...
to commit the keeping of our souls into his hands, in humble confidence of his ability and his willingness to
Save us
Paul - Of his family we know nothing,
Save that he had a nephew, who detected a conspiracy against his life
Palm (of Hand) - These are what one claps together in joy and applause: “And he brought forth the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God
Save the king” (
2 Kings 11:12)
Lot (1) - ...
His sin is faithfully recorded, his offering to sacrifice his daughters' honour to
Save his guests
Martin Luther - A violent reaction resulted; after having placed undue reliance on his efforts towards justification and confused concupiscence with original sin, he declared that man was hopelessly corrupt and that all his works, even those done from charitable or pious motives, were grave sins; that he could be
Saved by faith alone, in virtue of which God clad him as with the mantle of Christ's merits and concealed but did not blot out sin. At this time the main points of his creed, seem to have been: the Bible is the sole rule of faith; man is totally corrupt; he lacks moral free will and all his acts, even sin, are the work of God; he is justified by believing God will
Save him; this faith includes a pardon of sin and all its penalties; Baptism, the Eucharist, and Penance are the only sacraments; the hierarchy and exterior worship are unnecessary; the priesthood is universal; there is no visible Church

Foreknowledge - When Joseph's brothers sold him as a slave, God was in reality sending Joseph to devise a plan that would
Save the whole family from starvation (
Genesis 45:5-7 ). The brothers intended to harm him, but God knew that many lives would be
Saved through Joseph's wise planning (50:20)
Manichaeans - Christ came, they said, to
Save the souls of men, and not the bodies
Joshua - His first name was Hosea, or Oshea; Hoseah signifying saviour; Jehoshua, the salvation of God, or he will
Save. " And from the twenty-fifth verse of the following chapter, it appears that the book was written before the death of Rahab: "And Joshua
Saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho
Education - It is only within the past 25 years that scholars, led by men like Denifle, Rashdall, and by Haskins and Rand, in the United States, and the Mediaeval Society, have begun to show what the Church had done to
Save and promote learning and develop civilization and culture
Timothy, First And Second, Theology of - In
1 Timothy 1:15 , Paul claims that Christ Jesus came into the world to
Save sinners, himself being one of the worst. Paul also writes that God desires all humankind to be
Saved, not just a few (
1 Timothy 2:4 ). One thing is clear: God is not going to
Save all humankind; for other Scriptures state conditions that must be met before the universally applicable salvation becomes a reality in individual lives. Others have taught that the verse means that God wants to
Save all humankind and provides it for all, but it becomes applicable only for those who continue receiving it. ...
A strong soteriological emphasis in these epistles, which is found elsewhere in the Pauline writings, is that we are not
Saved by our own good works, but for the purpose of good works. Paul clearly states that God has
Saved us, "not because of anything we have done, but because of his own purpose and grace" (
2 Timothy 1:9 ). "...
With this emphasis that humankind cannot
Save itself, goes the stress also on the fact that our salvation is for the purpose of good works; and this is a major theme in 1,2Timothy. It is probably that the definite article with "childbearing" is the important item here, and that the intent of the verse is that the woman will be
Saved, even though she fell into transgression in the beginning, through THE Childbearing, the incarnation of Christ as promised to Eve in
Genesis 3:15 . The woman's continuance in faith, love, and sanctity with self-restraint are then assumed, by these interpreters, to be evidences of a living faith within the
Saved woman
Ark of the Covenant -
1 Kings 8:9 states there was nothing in the ark of Solomon's temple
Save the two stone tables of the law; but
Hebrews 9:4 states there were also the golden pot of manna (the memorial of God's providential care of Israel), and Aaron's rod that budded (the memorial of the lawful priesthood,
Numbers 17:3-10). ...
The ark was never seen
Save by the high priest; symbol of God whom no man can see, and whose likeness is only to be seen in Christ (
John 1:18;
Hebrews 1:3), the true Ark, and our High Priest with the Father
Renunciation - Thus is realized the paradox (
Mark 8:35) that the Christian loses his life to
Save it. He
Saved others—He could not
Save Himself
Uniqueness - ‘All things have been delivered unto me of my Father; and no one knoweth the Son
Save the Father; neither doth any know the Father,
Save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him’ (
Matthew 11:27)
Hopefulness - When He disclosed Himself it was as the source of all grace, so that men might be
Saved and nourished by His life. A similar anticipation of coming joy in the salvation of those He came to
Save may be felt in the words, ‘Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost’ (
Luke 15:6). He sees the uttermost parts of the world potentially present in the persons of these Gentiles, and He declares that ‘the hour is come that the Son of Man should be glorified’ (
John 12:23); and yet, foreknowing the terrible fate that awaited Him before the achievement of His desire, He alternated between the joy of hope and the sorrow of human dread, and prayed to be
Saved from that hour (
John 12:27). Thus we see that our Lord was in hope, as in all else
Save sin, ‘like as we are’ (
Hebrews 4:15)
Neighbour (2) - And not only towards those who are fellow-subjects of the Kingdom is love inculcated: it must extend even to those who are our enemies and the enemies of God (
Luke 6:37-38); for Christ came to seek and to
Save the lost, and the Christian must follow in his Master’s steps. But that we may be able to do this—to help the weak brother and to
Save him from his defects—it is first needful that we should be conscious of our own
Mediation Mediator - Peter also says that the Jews ‘shall be
Saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in like manner as’ Gentiles (
Acts 15:11). His collision with the Judaizers (Acts 15) turned on the sufficiency of the work of Christ to
Save, apart from the Jewish ceremonialism. ‘For I determined to know nothing among you,
Save Jesus Christ, and him crucified’ (
1 Corinthians 2:2). But the resurrection of Christ is guarantee of His power to
Save, so that ‘in Christ shall all be made alive’ (
1 Corinthians 15:22)
Elect, Election - People are lost and it is God alone who
Saves them; beside him there is no other savior (
Isaiah 43:11 ) and no other plan of salvation (
Acts 4:12 ). Whatever it be, whether false gods, other human beings, angels or other supernatural beings, or even ourselvesthey cannot
Save us. Because it is God alone who
Saves, those who are
Saved are seen to be the ones whom God has chosen (or elected) to be
Saved. None who is ultimately redeemed can boast that they
Saved themselves or that they added anything to the salvation that they received through Jesus Christ. ...
Those who are
Saved, the believers in Jesus Christ, are called "the elect (chosen)" (
Matthew 24:22 ;
Romans 8:33 ;
Colossians 3:12 ;
Titus 1:1 ;
Revelation 17:14 ). They are called the elect because God chose them to be
Saved (
Matthew 22:14 ;
John 6:37,39 ; 15:16,19 ;
Acts 13:48 ;
Romans 11:5 ;
1 Thessalonians 1:4 ). The term is applied to those who believe and also to potential believersthose whom God has yet to
Save are called the elect (
2 Timothy 1:9 ). ...
Inasmuch as God has chosen some to be
Saved, he has also chosen how he will
Save them
the Angel of the Church in Sardis - Dose a minister sufficiently with praise, and you will soon drown his soul in perdition, if God does not interpose to
Save him. Ay, such remembering and such repenting will yet
Save this all but lost minister of Sardis, and it will
Save some ministers among ourselves who are quite as far gone as he was. And as he was
Saved through this Epistle, so will they; and like him they will yet receive the heavenly reward that is here held out to us all by Him who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars
Joshua - He was Hoshea only ("he will
Save") up to his noble witness after spying Canaan. Henceforth, Jehovah's name is prefixed, Jehovah by him would
Save Israel (
Numbers 13:16). This forms the contrast in the Antitype (
Matthew 1:21), "thou shalt call His name Jesus, for Himself (Greek, not merely 'Jehovah by him') shall
Save His people
Fathers of the Church - The Council of Ephesus (431) declared in its first session that it would define nothing
Save what had been held unanimously by the ancient and holy Fathers
Wisdom - Jesus died for sinful people so that they might be
Saved. Actually, they are the ones who are foolish, for they reject what God in his wisdom has done, and try by their own misguided wisdom to
Save themselves (
1 Corinthians 1:18-25). People may think they are wise, but they must humble themselves and trust in God’s wisdom if they are to be
Saved (
1 Corinthians 3:18-20)
Genealogy of Jesus Christ - Five females are in Matthew's Gospel: incestuous Tamar, Rahab the Moabitess and a harlot, Ruth, Uriah's wife Bathsheba the object of David's adulterous love, and above all Mary; all extraordinary monuments of God's grace, that chooses out of the vilest to make vessels unto honor, for the bringing forth of the promised Seed, who was to
Save sinners of every type and race
Lily - It was in the valley of this our lower world the Son of God came, when he came "to seek and
Save that which was lost
Ark of God - In Eli's days when Israel was defeated they fetched the ark from Shiloh that it might
Save them, but they were again defeated, and the ark, in which they had placed their confidence instead of in Jehovah, was seized by the Philistines
Zacchaeus - He had said then, "how hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God;" yet to show us that "the things impossible with men are possible with God" (
Luke 18:18-27), and that riches are not an insuperable barrier against entrance into heaven, the case of the rich yet
Saved Zacchaeus follows. "For the Son of man (sympathizing therefore with man, however fallen by sin) is come to seek (Zaachaeus sought Jesus,
Luke 19:3, only because Jesus first sought Zaachaeus) and to
Save that which was lost
Helladius, Bishop of Tarsus - Helladius with Eutherius of Tyana next drew up a long letter to pope Sixtus, giving their account of the council of Ephesus and begging him as a new Moses to
Save the true Israel from the persecution of the Egyptians. Helladius thus
Saved himself from deposition and exile at the expense of consistency
Mercy - So is that fondness, of a parent that withholds the hand of discipline from a beloved child, when its frowardness and faults render seasonable and prudent correction necessary to
Save it from ruin
Build - The phrase “son of man” is used in this sense— God is asked to
Save the poor individuals, not the children of the poor (
Day of the Lord - They failed to realize, however, that in that day God would punish all sinners, Israelites included, and
Save all the faithful, regardless of national or social status (
Joel 2:30-32;
Mark 13:32-3736;
Malachi 3:1-4;
Malachi 4:1-3)
Paulinus, Missionary to Northumbria - Among the relics in York minster were a few of his bones and two teeth, but nothing else to commemorate his great work in the north,
Save an altar which bore his name and that of Chad conjoined
Jehoshaphat - " All that depended on him he did, but the people could not yet rise up to his spirituality so as to worship Jehovah without any visible altar
Save the one at Jerusalem (
2 Chronicles 20:32-33). There he would have paid with life for his dangerous alliance with cowardly Ahab, who sought to
Save his own life by exposing his magnanimous ally, but for God's interposition
Free Will - We are not free
Save within certain limits, and many things—our native tendency to sin, heredity, environment, above all the force of habit—operate against our acting freely in accordance with our consciousness of what is best. We are,
Save in so far as we may have ourselves enslaved our wills, bound by no outward or inward constraint to will other than the good
Forgiveness (2) - Secondly, that no complete study of Christ’s teaching concerning forgiveness can be made, unless other words, such as ‘save,’ ‘justify,’ and ‘cleanse,’ are taken into account, and the whole subject of release from the guilt and bondage of sin, as promised by Him, is kept in view. In the same connexion may be taken the interpretation of the name Jesus in
Matthew 1:21 ‘he shall
Save his people from their sins,’ and the ‘Saviour, Christ the Lord,’ of
Luke 2:11, though the word ‘forgiveness’ does not occur. It was indeed implicit throughout our Lord’s ministry, all His declarations concerning His coming ‘not to call the righteous, but sinners’ (
Matthew 9:13), ‘to seek and to
Save that which was lost’ (
Luke 19:10), and His promise of ‘rest to the souls’ of men (
Matthew 11:29), showing that the object of His ministry was to reclaim from sin, by bringing men to that forgiveness and cleansing which God had promised through repentance and faith in Him. The three recorded in Luke 15 were uttered to show the nature of Christ’s mission and His desire to seek and
Save the worst sinners, as well as the willingness of God to receive such, and the joy of heaven and earth when the penitent returns and is pardoned. The mission of Christ to
Save the outcast and the abandoned is here delicately and beautifully shown
Above And Below - They have no meaning in a boundless Universe
Save in relation to our observation, and appearances are misleading
Passover - They made their bread without yeast (leaven), to
Save time waiting for the dough to rise. This reminded them that, having been
Saved through the Passover, they had fled from Egypt hastily, cooking unleavened bread as they travelled (

Exodus 12:39)

James, Epistle of - The implanted word, received with meekness, is able to
Save the soul. ...
The epistle closes somewhat abruptly with a short statement of the result achieved in the restoration of any who had erred from the truth; a soul is
Saved from death, and a multitude of sins are covered
Jerusalem - And while the Lord knoweth them that are his, and will
Save them by his grace, the nations who reject Christ, nationally considered, must perish
Joseph - He came indeed, not only to seek, but to
Save that which was lost; but like another Joseph, the treatment he received corresponded in all points, only in an infinitely higher degree of baseness and cruelty
Jacobus, Bishop of Nisibis - For the tale of the final siege of 350, which lasted three months, and of the bishop's successful efforts to
Save his city, see Gibbon, c
Miltiades, Bishop of Rome - De Rossi supposes the approaches to the old crypt to have been blocked up by the Christians to
Save it from profanation; and the state in which the passages leading to it have been found confirms this supposition
Saul - A band whose hearts God had touched escorted him to Gibeah, while the worthless despised him, saying "how shall this man
Save us?" (compare
Luke 14:14, the Antitype, meekly "He held His peace";
Psalms 38:13). The Israelites, as the Romans under the Etruscan Porscna, were deprived by their Philistine oppressors of all smiths, so that no Israelite
Save Saul and Jonathan had sword or spear (
1 Samuel 13:19-21). ...
Samuel was not directing Saul to go at once to Gilgal, as seen as he should go from him, and wait there seven days (
1 Samuel 10:8); but that after being chosen king by lot and conquering Ammon and being confirmed as king at Gilgal, he should war with the Philistines (one main end of the Lord's appointing him king,
1 Samuel 9:16, "that he may
Save My people out of the hand of the Philistines, for I have looked upon My people, because their cry is come unto Me"), and then go down to Gilgal, and "wait there seven days, until I come, before offering the holocaust. ...
Had he waited but an hour or two, he would have
Saved his kingdom, which was now transferred to one after God's own heart; we may forfeit the heavenly kingdom by hasty and impatient unbelief (
Isaiah 28:16)
Holy - The Gospels make clear that Jesus came to
Save His people from their sins (
Matthew 1:21 ;
Luke 1:31-35 ). Being sanctified, or made holy, is a work of the Holy Spirit on the basis of Christ's atonement that calls for obedient submission from those who have been
Saved

Ezekiel - The people had no one but themselves to blame for the coming judgment (18:1-32), and no king would be able to

Children of God - Considerable importance attaches to the solemn words in
Matthew 11:27 ‘All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth the Son,
Save the Father; neither doth any know the Father,
Save the Son and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him. The words declaratory of the love of God in sending the Son to
Save men are variously assigned to Jesus and to the Evangelist
Achan - Who is that stealing about among the smoking ruins? Is that some soldier of Jericho who has
Saved himself from the devouring sword? When the night wind wakens the embers again these are the accoutrements and the movements of one of Joshua's men. Ask and say, Is thy Name indeed Jesus? Dost thou indeed

God - ...
God works as Redeemer to
Save the sinful, rebellious human creatures and to renew His fallen creation. He redeemed Israel in the Exodus from Egypt ( Exodus 1-15 ); through the prophets He promised a Messiah who would
Save His people, and in Jesus Christ provided that salvation (
John 3:16 )
Gideon - Former judges, Othniel, Ehud, Barak, had been moved by the Spirit of God to their work; but to Gideon alone under a terebinth in Ophrah, a town belonging to Joash, Jehovah appeared in person to show that the God who had made theophanies to the patriarchs was the same Jehovah, ready to
Save their descendants if they would return to the covenants. "Angel of Jehovah," but manifested as JEHOVAH) replied, "Go in this thy might (the might now given thee by ME,
Isaiah 40:29), and thou shalt
Save Israel from the hand of the Midianites; have not I sent thee?" Then followed the requested "sign," the Angel of the Lord with the end of the staff in His hand consuming with fire Gideon's "offering" (minchah ), not a strict sacrifice but a sacrificial gift), the kid and unleavened cakes (compare Genesis 18, the theophany to Abraham very similar)
Italy - After a period of occupation by the Goths, Italy again became part of the Roman Empire, subject to the Caesaro-papism and later the culpable neglect of the Byzantine rulers, until Pepin and Charlemagne were summoned by the popes to

Save for an obscure allusion to an alliance between Joram, king of Israel (851-842), and the reigning Pharao, Egypt does not appear again on the scene of Biblical history until the last years of the Northern Kingdom, when Osee, the last king of Israel, in order to prevent being engulfed in the ever-growing torrent of Assyrian invasion, called on the help of Sua, probably the future Shabaka, founder of the XXVth Dynasty, then a high officer in the Egyptian Empire (4Kings 17)

Flood - The rescue of the family of Noah shows God's yearning love to
Save
Foreknowledge - The New Testament writers perceived in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus the outworking of God's eternal plans to
Save sinful humanity. If God already knows in advance who will be
Saved or elected, does that not eliminate free human will? Does God predestine some people to salvation and others to damnation?...
One major attempt to answer this question is associated with James Arminius (1560-1609) who argued, as did the pre-Augustinian church fathers, that God's foreknowledge is a prescient knowledge, that is, God knows in advance what a person's response will be, so He elects to salvation in advance those whom He knows will freely accept Christ. He predestines some to be
Saved, but not on the foreknowledge of how they will respond; rather in His foreknowledge He foreordains apart from any human response. Paul's point in
Romans 8:29-30 is not to discuss who is foreknown and predestined to be
Saved and who is not. The writers were not attempting to answer the question of whom God
Saves and whom He rejects, nor were they intending to limit free human choice

Egypt in the Bible - ...

2 Kings 4:38-41;
2 Kings 6:1-7)
Faith - ...
Saved by faith...
Whether in the era before Christ or after, people have been
Saved only through faith in the sovereign God who in his mercy and grace forgives sin; and the basis on which God forgives sin is the death of Jesus Christ (
Romans 3:24-26;
Romans 4:16;
Romans 4:22-25;
2 Corinthians 4:13;
Galatians 3:11; see JUSTIFICATION; SACRIFICE). People can never be
Saved from sin, never be accepted by God, on the basis of their good works or their law-keeping. God
Saves people solely by his grace, and they receive this salvation by faith (
Ephesians 2:8-9). ...
Faith in itself does not
Save. ...
Living by faith...
Christians are not only
Saved by faith, they live by faith
Feasts - The accompanying Feast of Unleavened Bread recalled the people’s hasty departure from Egypt when they had to make their bread without leaven (yeast), cooking as they travelled in order to

Save progress to perfection? Reconciled to God while yet enemies, for what can we not hope, now that we are His friends? Christ is indeed a second Adam, the creator of a new humanity. His power to
Save cannot be less than Adam’s power to destroy. Even now a remnant has been
Saved by grace; and the present rejection of Israel must have been inteoded to
Save the Gentiles. In God’s grace he has found also the secret of overcoming for the man who is conscious of the awfulness of sin, and of his own inability to

Romans 2:9-11;
Romans 3:9; 1618166006_92;
Romans 10:12;
Romans 11:32;
Romans 15:8-9). All people are under the power of sin and are unable to
Save themselves from its penalty, whether through religious ritual, the keeping of the law or personal good works (see GOOD WORKS; LAW; SIN). Even when
Saved by grace through faith, believers are still dependent on God for victory over sin. Gentiles, by contrast, have accepted it by faith and so are
Saved (9:6-10:4)

Psalms 69:19-20) When therefore, under the pressure of a broken heart, Jesus cried out, "Eli, Eli, why hast thou forsaken me?" instantly they perverted the cry of Jesus, and jeered him, as if instead of calling as he did, upon his God and Father, he had called for one that was no helper, in Elias, and cruelly insulted him with adding,"Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to

Cosmopolitanism - The presence of foreigners, however, is seldom mentioned in the Gospels,

Matthew 8:5, Luke 7:2;
Luke 23:47), strangers from Tyre and Sidon (
Mark 3:8), a short journey to Decapolis (
Mark 7:31, where, strangely enough, the Aramaic word ‘Ephphatha’ finds special place in the text), and the notice of the Greeks who sought for Jesus at the feast—though no account of His interview with them is given (

When Piedmont was subjected to France in 1800, the French government, Buonaparte being first consul, placed them on the same plan of toleration with the rest of France; but on the return of the king of Sardinia to Genoa, notwithstanding the intercession of Lord William Bentinck, the old persecuting edicts were revived in the end of 1814; and though they have not been subjected to fire and faggot as aforetime, their worship has been restrained, and they were not only stripped of all employments, but, by a most providential circumstance only,

Judgment - ...
Jesus Christ the judge...
The purpose of Jesus’ first coming was not to be a judge but to be a saviour; not to condemn sinners but to

Woman - Although Athaliah was a wicked queen, Esther, who came to power in Persia under most unusual circumstances, used her position to

Individualism - To be taught of God means to be
Saved from this kind of individualism, to discover that it is not our right position and not our true selves, but is alienation from our true life and our true home; it is to learn that not only is love part of our nature, but that we have never found ourselves at all till it takes us out of ourselves (
Luke 17:33, Matthew 10:39). That kind of individualism stood at the foot of the Cross, and said, ‘He
Saved others, himself he cannot
Save,’ and saw in the position the height of absurdity. When He turned from that way to the road that led by a solitary path to Calvary, to call many, but to choose only the few who also would be prepared to walk in it, He surely decided to look to the individual to
Save the institution, and not to the institution to
Save the individual. It is quite true that a person in a state of salvation is one called and admitted into a society; but, just because it is a society of
Saved persons, it is different in its relation to its members from all visible societies
Virgin Birth - ...
The reason for this divine intervention is for the redemptive well-being of creation: more specifically, as Jesus' name implies, "to

Matthew 1:21 ). Irretrievably lost in its own sin, it is completely unable to

Paul as a Believing Man - And I am determined, he says, that so far as I am concerned you shall know nothing in this life, at any rate,

Virgin Virginity - John or any of the other apostles was married we cannot say,

The Epistles bear the same witness: ‘No one can say that Jesus is the Lord,

Minucius Felix, Marcus - These members of an illegal society dreaded to bring their doctrines into the light of day; they had no altars, no temples, no images, and were not even in their manner of worship like the Jews, the only people besides themselves who worshipped that wretched lonely God Who had not been able to
Save His own people from captivity; yet wished to meddle with everything and pry into every thought and every action. In the prospect of this imaginary life they gave up all enjoyment of their real present life, trusting in a God Whose impotence was exhibited in their daily sufferings from which He was unable to
Save His worshippers
Relics - Many travelled with this view into the eastern provinces, and frequented the places which Christ and his disciples had honoured with their presence; that with the bones and other sacred remains of the first heralds of the Gospel, they might comfort dejected minds, calm trembling consciences,
Save sinking states, and defend their inhabitants from all sorts of calamities
Unicorn - In the same manner as when foretelling the desolation of Egypt, he mentions, as one manner of effecting it, the bringing down the fly from Ethiopia,
Isaiah 7:18-19 , to meet the cattle in the desert and among the bushes, and destroy them there, where that insect did not ordinarily come but on command,
Exodus 8:22 , and where the cattle fled every year, to
Save themselves from that insect
Oil - ...
In the absence of a suitable rock-surface, as would naturally be the case within a city of any antiquity, a solid block of limestone circular, four-sided, and eight-sided (Megiddo) are the shapes recovered by recent explorers was hollowed to the depth of a few inches, a rim being left all round
Save at one corner
Wisdom of Christ - As Irenaeus beautifully says: ‘He came to
Save all by means of Himself—all, I say, who through Him are born again to God—infants, and children, and boys, and youths, and old men
Hour - He saw that the glory would be won at a great cost, and the prospect of it brought distress of soul, and wrung from Him the cry, ‘Father, what shall I say?
Save me from this hour
Self-Examination - There is a true Light which lighteth every man; One who dwells with us, near us, in us; One who will
Save us from self-flattery and self-deception, and from mawkish self-consciousness
Feet - GOD would
Save him out of these perplexities by His wonderful love and power
Numbers as Symbols - Solomon had six steps to his great throne,
1 Kings 10:19 ; but it was not elevated enough to
Save him from idolatry. Eight souls were
Saved in the ark, to commence a new world
Dropsy - If they allowed a man to
Save his son or his ox from a position of imminent danger, and yet considered the Sabbath rest unbroken, how much stronger claim had a man, suffering from an incurable malady, upon Him whose power to heal had again and again been manifested?...
It is possible, perhaps, to trace an element of scorn in Jesus’ attitude on this occasion
Sign - ...
...
it was a sign of man's helplessness and inability to
Save himself
Apocalyptic - It certainly postulates the inability of humanity to
Save itself and thus looks to God to complete history in the kingdom of glory
Death of Christ - But sin He hated with perfect hatred; and He lived and died to
Save men and the moral course of the world from it. All the moral powers of holy love, self-sacrifice, and service that were individualized in Him as the incarnate Son of God and man’s Redeemer,—these powers, which were His life, He laid down, consecrated, employed, every moment and in every situation of His life of free activity, in order perfectly to fullil His life’s vocation as determined for Him by His Father’s will and purpose, and by the moral necessities of the world which He had come to
Save. What, then, are the nature, the objects, and the methods of our Lord’s mediation?...
(1) Its general object is to
Save individuals from their sin by reconciling them to God, to perfect them as individuals in their moral nature and life, and to unite all who are thus
Saved in a life of eternal oneness with God, and with one another in Him
Evangelize, Evangelism - As in the military context, the basic message is one of complete victory: "Your God reigns!" God, with supreme sovereign power, has acted in covenant loyalty to Israelto restore, comfort, redeem,
Save, and protect her (52:8-12). When God acts to
Save and restore Israel he will relieve physical oppression by release from exile and an establishment of justice in Messiah's reign (11:4; 29:18-19; 49:13). Neither this use nor the fact that a local pastor, Timothy, is instructed to do the work of an evangelist should lead us to the false conclusion that the biblical understanding of evangelism in its full exposition by Paul is so broadened that in the end it does not retain its sharp focus of proclamation of the good news of salvation to the unsaved. Christians only rightly apply such evangelizing to themselves in their
Saved condition when they continue to
Man (2) - The official class—the Sadducees and priests—also felt that new wine like this would burst the old skins, and that a new society might arise, in which they themselves might be anywhere
Save at the top. It was while sitting and talking with a Samaritan—a Samaritan woman—that He said: ‘God is Spirit’ (
John 4:24); it was in the house of Zacchaeus that men first heard that ‘the Son of man came to seek and to
Save that which was lost’ (
Luke 19:10); while it was in answer to ‘a certain lawyer’ that Jesus related the parable of the Good Samaritan (
Luke 10:25-37)
Coming to Christ - ‘In none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven that is given among men wherein we must be
Saved’ (
Acts 4:12), sums up the whole teaching of NT history and letters. They are the central truths of the Pauline and other letters: ‘We preach Christ crucified’ (
1 Corinthians 1:23), ‘Far be it from me to glory,
Save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ’ (
Galatians 6:14), ‘He is able to
Save to the uttermost them that draw near to God through him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them’ (
Hebrews 7:25, cf
Incarnation - ...
The Humanity of Jesus The angel of the Lord, in a prophecy of Jesus' birth, plainly stated the purpose of the incarnation: “
shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall
Save his people from their sins” (
Matthew 1:21 ; compare
Luke 19:10 ;
John 3:17 ;
1 Timothy 1:15 )
Conversion - James encourages us with the words “that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall
Save a soul from death” (
James 5:20 )
Habakkuk, Theology of - Only a direct act of God can
Save us from ourselves. The writer of the Book of Hebrews follows the Septuagint, which renders the first part of the verse as "if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him" (
Hebrews 10:38 ), and then goes on to say that "we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are
Saved
King - Me that I should not reign over them"; they distrusted God's power and will to
Save them from Nahash (
1 Samuel 12:12), though He had delivered them from the Philistines (1 Samuel 7). God
Saves not by horses and horsemen, but by the Lord His people's God (
Hosea 1:7)
Tears - In this interesting passage, which, while it does not occur in the Gospels, refers to Christ, we are reminded how, in the days of His flesh, He offered up prayers with strong crying and tears unto Him who was able to
Save Him from death
Theophilus (2) - Furthermore, if there is no other instance of one Christian hailing another by a secular title in the NT, on the other hand there is no case of a Christian writing for the benefit of any
Save fellow-Christians
Jehoiachin - In
2 Kings 24:14 they are said to be 10,000; the details are specified in
2 Kings 24:15-16; "none remained
Save the poorest sort of the people of the land," having neither wealth nor skill to raise war, and therefore giving Nebuchadnezzar no fear of rebellion
Jehoiada - his jealous care, amidst the irregularities of a revolution, that none should "come into Jehovah's house
Save the priests and ministering Levites," also that Athaliah should be thrust forth outside "the ranges," and not be slain "in the house of Jehovah,"
2 Chronicles 23:6;
2 Chronicles 23:14), and zeal for the Lord's honour and the purity of His worship, were conspicuous in Jehoiada. Jehoiada had
Saved Joash's life and throne, and had been God's providential instrument in preventing the extinction of David's line, which then hung upon the one seemingly frail thread, but which could not be broken since to it belonged the promises of Messiah; he had stifled the idolatry transplanted into Judah by Joram's marriage into apostate Ahab's house, and restored Jehovah's worship
Restitution - ...
(3) Support for a restorationist doctrine is sometimes sought in those passages of the Pastoral Epistles where it is said that God ‘willeth that all men should be
Saved’ (
1 Timothy 2:4), that He is ‘the Saviour of all men, specially of them that believe’ (
1 Timothy 4:10), that His grace ‘hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men’ (
Titus 2:11). Christ Jesus came into the world to
Save sinners (
1 Timothy 1:15); but to obtain mercy men must ‘believe on him unto eternal life’ (
1 Timothy 1:16)
Moses - To
Save his life he fled from Egypt to live among the Midianites, a nomadic people who inhabited a barren region that spread from the Sinai Peninsular around the Gulf of Aqabah into the western part of the Arabian Desert
Abgar - For it stands written concerning me, that they who have seen me will not believe in me, and that they who have not seen me will believe and be
Saved. Having become assured that his guest is the promised disciple of Jesus, and that he has come fully empowered to heal and to
Save on condition of his exercise of faith, Abgar assures Thaddaeus that his faith is so strong that, had it not been for the presence of the Romans, he would have sent an army to destroy the Jews that crucified Jesus
Paul - On appearing before Festus, to
Save himself from being sent to Jerusalem, there being a plot to waylay and murder him, Paul appealed to the emperor. The ship, however, was wrecked at Malta, where they wintered, all on board having been
Saved
Advocate - He can, and will
Save to the uttermost, all that come to God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them
Mediator - The partaking of both natures gives this completeness of qualification; so that would I have my cause, (and a cause so infinitely important as that the happiness of eternity hangs upon the issue) would I have my cause in one that is able? here it is in the hands of Jesus; for he is God, mighty to
Save
Matthew, Gospel by - Here we read, He "shall
Save his people from their sins," and in this gospel only is quoted the prophetic name IMMANUEL, 'God with us
Phylacteries, Frontlets - From the Mishna we learn further that women, slaves, and minors were exempted from the obligation of wearing, or in technical phrase ‘laying,’ the tephillin, a duty still incumbent on all male Israelites, from the age of thirteen years and a day, during the recital of morning prayer, on all days
Save Sabbaths and festivals
Prudence - ’...
In Jesus’ teaching, as in His life, these prudential maxims are always subservient to the ultimate principle of conduct, love’s paradox, ‘Whosoever will
Save his life shall lose it, and whosover will lose his life for my sake shall find it’ (
Matthew 16:25, Luke 17:33, John 12:25)
Polycarpus, Bishop of Smyrna - The proconsul appears to have discharged his unpleasant duty with the humanity ordinary among Roman magistrates doing his best to persuade the accused to
Save themselves by compliance and no doubt employing the tortures of which the narrative gives a terrible account as a merciful cruelty which might
Save him from proceeding to the last extremes. Herod accompanied by his father Nicetes took Polycarp to sit in his carriage and both earnestly urged him to
Save his life: "Why what harm was it to say Lord Caesar and to sacrifice and so on and escape all danger?" Polycarp at first silent at last bluntly answered "I will not do as you would have me
Day of the Lord, God, Christ, the - " He explains that nothingneither silver nor goldwill be able to
Save them (1:17-18). In the words of Zephaniah, "The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to
Save. It will mean that "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be
Saved" (
Joel 2:32 ). Paul urges the church at Corinth to discipline the immoral person so that at the day of the Lord his spirit may be
Saved (
1 Corinthians 5:5 )
Hebrews, Epistle to the - He then is able to
Save completely those who come to God by Him, always living to intercede for them. Everything would be shaken by Him,
Save the kingdom which He sets up, and which believers receive
Zechariah, the Book of - Not even Titus could
Save the temple from the fury of his soldiery, Julian was unable to rebuild it. ...
But he shall perish, and Judah and Israel be
Saved. Messiah-Jehovah shall
Save her and destroy the foe of whom the remnant shall turn to Him reigning at Jerusalem
Pre-Existence of Christ - The thought of the Apostolic Church has advanced from the position reflected in the first chapters of Acts, in which there is no hint of a doctrine of pre-existence, to that presupposed even in the earlier Pauline Epistles, where its presence and activity are fully assumed; and apparently nothing
Save a process of development so gradual, silent, and unconscious as to have left no trace, bridges the distance between the Pentecostal discourses and Colossians. Granted the premise that Jesus is Saviour and that only the Eternal God can
Save, we pass, logically, at a single step from the Acts of the Apostles into Colossians
Devil - This calumny is refuted by God's not sparing His only begotten Son to
Save us
Mission - But God wants more than to
Save people
Truth -
1 Timothy 2:4, ‘God willeth that all men should be
Saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth’;
1 Timothy 3:15, where the Church of the living God is described as ‘the pillar and ground of the truth’;
2 Timothy 2:15, ‘a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth. Paul especially this fact of experience brought the assurance of God’s readiness to
Save and bless all men through faith in Jesus Christ without the necessity of their submitting to any rite of Jewish origin
Tongues, Gift of - No express mention is made of any apostle or evangelist preaching in any tongue
Save Greek or Hebrew (Aramaic)
Neonomians - God has eternally elected a certain definite number of men whom he will infallibly
Save by Christ in that way prescribed by the Gospel. By both this and the fifth head it appears that all boasting is excluded, and we are
Saved by free grace. God in christ thereby commandeth sinners to repent of sin, and receive Christ by a true operative faith, promising that thereupon they shall be united to him, justified by his righteousness, pardoned, and adopted; and that, persevering in faith and true holiness, they shall be finally
Saved; also threatening that if any shall die impenitent, unbelieving, ungodly, rejecters of his grace, they shall perish without relief, and endure sorer punishments than if these offers had not been made to them?...

Macedonia - The important land route from Byzantium (Istanbul) in the east to the Adriatic Sea in the west (in Roman times the “Via Egnatia”) crosses it as does the north to south road from the central Balkan (the area of the Danube and
Save rivers) which reached the Aegean Sea at the Thermaic Gulf and continued past Mount Olympus through the narrow valley of Tempe into Thessaly and central Greece
Mission(s) - ...
The Old Testament emphasized that the nations would have to come to Jerusalem to be
Saved. He came to seek and
Save the lost (
Luke 19:10 )
Moses - Distinctiveness in society as God's people, strictness of living in obedience to his laws, and unswerving trust in his power to
Save and keep were to be the hallmarks of Hebrew life
Mercy - ...
Generally in the NT sin is described not only as the source of human misery, but as itself the greatest evil from which men need to be delivered; and accordingly the work of God’s mercy is to
Save from sin (see
Ephesians 2:4-10, Titus 3:3-7)
Isaiah, Book of - There is also grace in store for the latter days: Zion will be a centre of blessing, and a remnant will be
Saved. The idols of Babylon could not

Elisha - ...
A widow ofone of the prophets appealed to Elishato

Divorce (2) - is concerned, we might, with some difficulty, suppose that the exception ‘save for adultery’ was assumed as a matter so obvious that it needed no explicit expression
Bread - And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else

Deuteronomy 20:2 , &c
Mercy - ...
Generally in the NT sin is described not only as the source of human misery, but as itself the greatest evil from which men need to be delivered; and accordingly the work of God’s mercy is to
Save from sin (see
Ephesians 2:4-10, Titus 3:3-7)
Christianity - The purpose of Jesus is announced in His very name; He came ‘to
Save his people from their sins’ (
Matthew 1:21 ). His own testimony runs: ‘The Son of Man came to seek and to
Save that which was lost’ (
Luke 19:10 ). Paul in like manner, when the Philippian jailor cried out in the night, ‘What must I do to be
Saved?’ replied, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be
Saved’ (
Acts 16:30-31 ) words which contain in brief the essence of the Apostolic testimony as to the way of salvation
Saviour (2) - —‘Saviour,’ like ‘to
Save’ and ‘salvation,’ is a word of frequent occurrence in the OT. For the specific meaning of ‘to
Save’ in distinction from other cognate Heb. This is different in Apocryphal and Pseud-epigraphical literature, for here it is not merely declared that in the name of the Son of Man the people are
Saved, and that He is the Goel of their life (
En 48:7), or that the righteous in connexion with Him shall be satisfied with salvation (
4 Ezr 8:39), but also that Christus liberabit creaturam (
4 Ezr 12:34, 13:26), and that from Judah and Levi the Lord will raise a Saviour for Israel (Test. In other words, it might become necessary to emphasize that God
Saves all men, not merely one class of men, and that no man is by his subjective condition either sunk beneath the possibility or raised above the need of salvation
Kingdom Kingdom of God - ’ The same may be said of
2 Timothy 4:1, ‘his appearance and his kingdom,’ and
2 Timothy 4:18, ‘shall
Save me into his eternal kingdom. If he had been further asked what that Kingdom would be, or in what relation it would stand to this present world, he would probably have answered that nearly all that constitutes this present world would have vanished-imperfection, sin, death; and that as to the nature of the new world he could say but little
Save that Christ would be there, and that His servants would serve Him, and that that was enough for anyone to know
Guilt (2) - If it be urged that Christ discharges the latter only in virtue of the fact that He destroys the former, as expressed in the words ‘it is he that shall
Save his people from their sins’ (
Matthew 1:21, but cf.
Romans 5:9), the reply is that Jesus is here represented as Saviour in the sense in which Messiah was to
Save, and that this is determined by the meaning of ‘salvation’ as developed in the theology of the OT. ...
We shall be
Saved from confusion with regard to the Pauline view of guilt, and the necessity of conforming the whole doctrine of sin to this primary idea, by considering what he means by ‘adoption’ and ‘grace
Balaam - The dumb ass was doing her best to arrest and to
Save her eloquent master. And she would have deserved it all; for she did all she could do to
Save her devoted master, who had ridden her without a single swerve or stumble of hers to that day
Lamentations - It was adopted to help the memory, and is used to string together reflections not closely bound in unity,
Save by the general reference to a common subject
Daniel - As Daniel 2 and Daniel 7 go together, so Daniel 3 and Daniel 6; Daniel 4 and Daniel 5; the pair Daniel 3 and Daniel 6 shows God's nearness to
Save His saints, if faithful, just when they are on the point of being crushed by the world power
Predestination - Questions which lead to this development were: If God is sovereign, how can humans be free? If God knows about everything in advance, does that mean that He forces things to be the way they are? Does not God give grace to those who are to be
Saved and withhold it from those who are not? If God decreed that some are to be
Saved, does this not mean He has predestined others to be damned?...
The problem with these later questions is that they go beyond Scripture in their desire to figure everything out. The only alternatives are to suppose that God is going to force all to be
Saved, whether they want to be or not; or that God, in a choosey way, is going to
Save some favorites but deliberately withhold salvation from others
Monastery - There were other causes that concurred to bring on their ruin: many of the religious were loose and vicious; the monks were generally thought to be in their hearts attached to the pope's supremacy; their revenues were not employed according to the intent of the donors; many cheats in images, feigned miracles, and counterfeit relics, had been discovered, which brought the monks into disgrace; the observant friars had opposed the king's divorce from queen Catharine; and these circumstances operated, in concurrence with the king's want of a supply and the people's desire to
Save their money, to forward a motion in parliament, that, in order to support the king's state, and supply his wants, all the religious houses might be conferred upon the crown, which were not able to spend above 200 50: a year; and an act was passed for that purpose, 27 Hen
Mediator, Mediation - Paul ties these concepts neatly together in
1 Timothy 2:4-6 when he declares that God's desire to
Save all people is expressed in the "one mediator, " Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all
Priest - And how graciously the Lord adds, "Wherefore he is able also to

Athens - It is significant that in Corinth the Apostle determined-not, indeed, for the first time, but certainly with a new emphasis-not to know anything
Save Jesus Christ and Him crucified (
1 Corinthians 2:2), who was for both Jews and Hellenes the power of God and the wisdom of God (1:24)
Duty - We do not deny that character must express itself in action; that charity without works is a contradiction; that the good will cannot be formed
Save by doing good
Assyria - But the firm purpose of the Lord was to defend that city to

Passover And Feast of Unleavened Bread - And, finally, the connexion with the pastoral sacrifice would have been forgotten, and the Passover would be treated as instituted in order to
Save the firstborn of Israel
Pilate - He had probably not taken the trouble to understand the fierce passions of the people whom he was sent to govern, and when worsted by them in early encounters, the scorn which Romans felt for Jews became in him something like hatred, and a strong desire to be avenged on their leaders at all costs
Save one, namely, disgrace at Rome
Joab - Joab so effectively besieged Abel of Beth Maachah that the townsmen were glad to
Save their town by sacrificing Sheba, throwing his head, at the suggestion of a wise woman in the town, over the wall to Joab
Jonathan - His armourbearer agreed with all his heart to join in the hazardous enterprise; Jonathan's strong faith in God inspired his companion in arms with the same chivalrous devotion; "there is no restraint to the Lord, to
Save by many or few
Incarnation (2) - From Xenophanes, with his assertion that nothing is
Save Being, and Heraclitus, with his counter assertion that all is flux, the problem of the higher synthesis is handed on to thinkers who, philosophizing imperially, seek to exhibit the ultimate unity of the universe as ‘the Good,’ or ‘Thought of Thought. It is little wonder, therefore, that the hope of Israel did not retain its purity and spirituality,
Save in the hearts of an inner circle of whom the theologians and politicians of the time took no account,—the poor in spirit, the mourners, the meek, the pure in heart. The amazing fact, accordingly is, that, in spite of such knowledge, He loved men, believed in their high destiny, yearned to
Save them, and was ready to give the supreme proof of His love by dying for them
Authority of Christ - Our theory of them may be different, but that only means that we belong to a different age; it does not touch the truth that from these terrible and mysterious woes Jesus was mighty to
Save. ‘All things have been delivered unto me by my Father, and no one knoweth the Son
Save the Father, neither doth any know the Father
Save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him
Redemption (2) - —The foundations of the NT doctrine of redemption are laid in the OT conceptions of the holiness, righteousness, and grace of Jehovah, and of sin as something abhorrent to Jehovah’s holiness, which He must needs condemn and punish, but from which He desires to
Save. ‘The angel which hath redeemed me from all evil,’ says Jacob, in the earliest instance of the use of the word נָּאֵל, in
Genesis 48:16; and again in
Isaiah 63:9 we have, with the use of the same word, the like idea: ‘In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence
Saved them; in his love and in his pity he redeemed them,’ etc. the child is called Jesus, ‘for it is he that shall
Save his people from their sins’ (
Luke 1:21). Souls in this condition are ‘lost’; need to be, in their helplessness and misery, sought after and
Saved (
Luke 15:3 ff;
Luke 19:10)
Galatians Epistle to the - When at length he did visit Jerusalem, he saw none of the apostles
Save Cephas and James, and them only for a short time. Christ’s death was superfluous and meaningless (
Galatians 2:21), for men can

Sin (2) - He was the shepherd bringing home the lost sheep dispersed upon the mountains (
John 10:16); or, somewhat to vary the idea, the Redeemer coming into the world, not to judge it along with its prince, but to
Save it from the Evil One (
Hosea 11:1 John 12:31;
John 12:47, John 17:15), and casting out the indwelling Satan by the finger or Spirit of God (
Luke 11:20). That Jesus Christ is come in the flesh to

Brethren of the Lord (2) - Thus the Gospels represent Jesus as lamenting the unbelief and want of sympathy of His near relatives: ‘A prophet is not without honour,
Save in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house’ (
Mark 6:4); and again, ‘My time is not yet come, but your time is alway ready. It is no sufficient reply to this to say that in
Galatians 1:19 James is called an Apostle (‘But other of the apostles saw I none,
Save James the Lord’s brother’)
Peter - "Fear not, henceforth thou shalt catch to
Save alive (zoogroon ) men," was Jesus' explanation of the typical meaning of the miracle. " Jesus answered, cf6 "he that is bathed (all over, namely, regenerated once for all, leloumenos ) cf6 needeth not
Save to wash (nipsasthai , a part) cf6 his feet, but is clean every whit. At the council of Jerusalem (Acts 15) Peter led the discussion, citing the case of Cornelius' party as deciding the question, for" God which knoweth the hearts bore them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit even as He did unto us, and put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith," "but we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be
Saved, even as they"; compare his epistles in undesigned coincidence (
1 Peter 1:22;
2 Peter 1:9)
Galatians, Letter to the - Must the Gentiles become a part of the Jewish faith to be fully Christian? Certain Jewish Christians, called Judaizers, said that the Gentiles must also obey the law of Moses and be circumcized to be

Galatians 2:15-21 )
Isaac - What Isaac's sacrifice wanted to perfect the type was actual death and vicarious substitution; the offering of the ram's life instead of the human life, hereby
Saved, supplied the defect; the ram and Isaac jointly complete the type. The angel's intervention, the ram's substitution, and the prohibition of the human sacrifice prevent the possibility of supposing God sanctions any human sacrifice

New Moon - ...
When we consider how conspicuously the Sabbath figures in the NT, and what traces we have of such great annual feasts as Passover and Pentecost, it is singular that,

The Apostle’s experience in Athens (
Acts 17:16-34) had not encouraged him to meet philosophers on their own ground, and, when he came to Corinth, it was with the deliberate purpose of not commending his message by the devices of rhetorical display, or the arguments of philosophy-‘I came not with any striking rhetorical or philosophical display, for I determined not to know anything among you

Matthew 11:27)
Old Testament - Its purpose was not to

Micah 7:19 end), and to
Save the sinner from the wages of sin which is death. Κaphar and kopher is in
Genesis 6:14, "Thou shalt pitch the ark with pitch," the instrument of covering the
Saved from the destroying flood outside, as Jesus' blood interposes between believers and the flood of wrath that swallows up the lost
Saul - Here the lot was drawn (10:17-27), and it fell upon Saul, and when he was presented before them, the stateliest man in all Israel, the air was rent for the first time in Israel by the loud cry, "God
Save the king!" He now returned to his home in Gibeah, attended by a kind of bodyguard, "a band of men whose hearts God had touched. "So the Lord
Saved Israel that day
Apocalyptic - A mark of ownership is set upon them, not to
Save them from the experience of war, famine, and disease, but to ensure that they will be among those who "come out of the great tribulation" (7:14), and who will no longer hunger or thirst (7:16)
Judgment, Day of - It is emphasized as strongly as it could possibly be that Christ came to this world to
Save sinners and that he
Saved them by laying down his perfect life on Calvary's cross. It is not then a question of whether we are
Saved or not. " We are
Saved not by Acts of kindness but only by Christ (
Acts 4:12 )
Atonement - Thus, the cross is simultaneously a manifestation of God's will to
Save and of His wrath against sin. These are the people who have been
Saved from sin
Salt - " (
Leviticus 2:13)...
Now if we first consider the property of salt, that it is to
Save from corruption, we discover that the salt, which was never to be omitted in the offering, was the grand object the Lord had regard to in the whole. Oh, for grace to know our mercies, and truly to value them! For he that now
Saves from corruption, will one day be the everlasting condemnation of those that reject him
Feasts -
Save us we beseech Thee
Amos - Amos’ true significance in religious history is that with him prophecy breaks away on its true line, individual, direct, responsible to none
Save God
Discipline - This will
Save from idleness and unfruitfulness
Abram - So that when the whole subject is properly considered and taken into one complete view, so far was the faith of the patriarch from being lessened by the exercise, as in the first blush of the history it seemed to appear, that by the means Abraham adopted, he still threw himself with confidence on the Lord, to
Save his beloved Sarah from ruin, and his life from danger; and without this trust in the Lord, and dependence on the Lord's interposition, Abraham could not but well know, that whether he had called Sarah, sister, or wife, the peril was the same
Work - ...
The phrase “work of one’s hands” signifies the worthlessness of the idols fashioned by human hands: “Asshur shall not
Save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy” (
Plagues, the Ten, - Man and beast were smitten, and the herbs and every tree broken,
Save in the land of Goshen
Mystery - The conception of the gospel itself as a ‘mystery’ is found nowhere else
Save in the Pauline Epistles
Praise (2) - ’ Our Lord’s words in this connexion are striking: ‘Were there none found that returned to give glory to God,
Save this stranger?’ (
Luke 17:18)—words which imply that the duty of grateful praise to God was not always fully recognized in individual practice
Inspiration And Revelation - For who among men knoweth the things of a man,
Save the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so the things of God none knoweth,
Save the Spirit of God
Teaching of Jesus - In the Galilaean period He does not as a rule preach at all, but He teaches: and indeed not about the Kingdom of God (which doe not occur at all,

Mark 4:30;
Mark 4:32), but, in unconstrained succession, touching this and that matter which comes in His way; obvious truths, with reference to the needs of a general public, which is misled by its spiritual leaders’ (p. ’ The sense which He gave to it, as distinct from the associations currently attaching to it in various circles of Judaism, seems to be chiefly ‘brotherhood with toiling and struggling humanity, which He who most thoroughly accepted its conditions was fittest also to
Save’ (Sanday)
Judgment Damnation - If passages appear in which He is made to disclaim the office of Judge-‘I came not to judge the world but to
Save the world’-they are added in order, by seeming contradiction, to drive thought deeper (
John 12:47;
John 5:45;
John 3:17). His real purpose is, indeed, to
Save, but none the less His appearance in the world has the inevitable result that a separation is effected between the children of light and the children of darkness
Religion (2) - The immediacy of revelation to Him is fully declared in
Matthew 11:27 ‘All things are delivered unto me of my Father, and no one knoweth the Son
Save the Father; neither doth any know the Father,
Save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him
Mediator - ...
(a) The ‘wisdom’ of our Lord impressed His hearers at Nazareth, and when they were offended at the difference which they noted between Him and His humble family, Jesus said, ‘A prophet is not without honour,
Save in his own country, and in his own house’ (
Matthew 13:54-58). Assuming that Christ did institute this sacrament, we may also assume that He who taught His own not to fear those who kill the body, did not mean that when His blood was shed ‘for many’ it was shed to
Save them from being killed by the Jews or Romans. And, like the blood of the Paschal lamb, the blood of Jesus
Saves His people from a destruction that comes from God. In consequence of His resurrection, baptism ‘saves’ us (
1 Peter 3:21)
Arius, Followers of - During this period the attitude of all the various parties
Save those who adhered to the Nicene symbol is most perplexing, and the changes of opinion most bewildering. Sirmium, in Slavonia, between the
Save and the Drave, now takes the place of Antioch in the matter of creed-making
Calendar, the Christian - Probably ever since the Return from the Captivity, Monday and Thursday had been the Jewish fasts, though we read of Judith fasting daily
Save on Sabbaths and New Moons and the eves of both and ‘the feasts and solemn days of the house of Israel’ (
Judith 8:6). Pseudo-Ignatius forbids a Christian to fast on Sunday,
Save on Easter Even

Save, John called people to repentance
Faith - Paul writes: ‘Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law,

Save Jesus Christ and Him crucified (
1 Corinthians 2:2), while he insists so strongly on the Resurrection as to declare: ‘If Christ hath not been raised; your faith is vain’ (
1 Corinthians 15:17). So in
Ephesians 2:8 it is said: ‘By grace have ye been
Saved through faith’ (διὰτῆς πίστεως, not διὰ τὴν πίστιν, i
Palestine - ...
The tract, nine miles wide and 35 long, between the center and the sudden descent to the Dead Sea, is desolate at all seasons, a series of hills without vegetation, water, and almost life, with no ruins
Save Masada and one or two watchtowers. The plain is one vast grainfield, produced without manure,
Save that supplied by the deposits washed down by the streams from the hills, without irrigation, and with only the simplest agriculture
Annunciation, the - We may reverently say that the Annunciation to Mary was a necessity in order to
Save her from dreadful perplexity and suffering. He would not have belonged to the same race as those whom He came to
Save
Pentecost - It does not seem clear that he had any principle to go on in this enumeration,
Save that roughly he begins in what must have been to him the Far East (‘Parthians and Medes’) and ends with the West (‘sojourners from Rome’), and then adds, a little inconsequently, ‘Cretans and Arabians. Looking back from his then standpoint, the historian could not adequately account for the actually existing and widespread Church,
Save through some Divine enthusiasm kindled in men’s hearts by God indwelling and working in them with power and love
Faith - Paul writes: ‘Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law,

Timothy, Epistles to - ...
On the other hand, not a word is raised by earlier writers against their genuineness,
Save by the heretics Marcion and Basilides; and their rejection was due not to any stated doubts as to the Pauline authorship, but apparently to dislike to the teaching of the Epistles
Receive, Receiving - In Classical Greek it had the meaning of "receiving," and it is a little difficult to attach any other sense to the circumstances,
Save perhaps that Abraham's faith undertook to exercise the assurance of the fulfillment of the promises
Sacrifice - Through sin people were separated from God and under the penalty of death, and there was nothing they could do to
Save themselves. Under the old covenant, as under the new, people were
Saved not through their works, but through the grace of a merciful God
the Penitent Thief - "Save Thyself and us!" the two crucified and maddened men both cried to Him; the one in fiendish ribaldry, and the other out of a heart in which heaven and hell were fighting with their last stroke for his soul
Stranger, Alien, Foreigner -
Luke 17:18, ‘Were there none found that returned to give glory to God,
Save this stranger?’ where the rendering of ἀλλογενής in Revised Version margin by ‘alien’ heightens the contrast to which our Lord draws attention
Hospitality -
Save in cities, therefore, and in trading centres along the great highways, there was little call for places of public entertainment
Revelation of God - The Old Testament promise of salvation as a divine gift to people who cannot
Save themselves has been fulfilled in the gift of His Son
Jehoram - The prophet again and again
Saved Jehoram by warning him of the position of the Syrian camp (
2 Kings 6:8-12; compare
Luke 12:3). ...
They carried away his substance from his house, his sons, and wives, so that there was never a son left him
Save Jehoahaz (Ahaziah) the youngest (God for the sake of His covenant with David still leaving" a light to him and to his sons for ever":
2 Chronicles 21:7;
2 Samuel 7:12-13;
Psalms 132:17), a retribution in kind for the murder of his father's sons

Save him
Life - When he proclaimed the good news of God, he was seeking to
Save and restore the spiritual life lost in Adam's sin
Hell - However, Jesus says "the Son of Man came to seek and to
Save what was lost" (
Luke 19:10 )
Ephesus - to the Ephesians uses the language of profound admiration:...
‘I ought to be trained for the contest by you in faith, in admonition, in endurance in long-suffering (§ 3); ‘for ye all live according to the truth and no heresy hath a home among you; nay, ye do not so much as listen to any one if he speak of aught else
Save concerning Jesus Christ in truth’ (§ 6); ‘you were ever of one mind with the Apostles in the power of Jesus Christ’ (§ 11)
Education (2) - One much discussed quaestio theologicalis was, ‘Are they few that are being
Saved?’ Some Rabbis held that ‘all Israel would have a portion in the world to come’; others, that as only two of all that came out of Egypt entered into the land of Canaan, so would it be in the days of the Messiah. All the Apostles
Save Judas were Galiaeans
Impotence -

Atonement - and there it should be 'reconciliation,' and the verb in the preceding sentence is so translated: "If when we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more being reconciled, we shall be
Saved by his life . ' So in
Exodus 21:30 a kopher (translated 'sum of money') is laid upon a man to
Save his life where his ox had killed his neighbour; but in
Numbers 35:31 no kopher was to be taken for the life of a murderer; for (ver

Eustathius, Bishop of Sebaste - Eustathius, to

Calling - And so God
Saves his people, not by works of righteousness which they have done, but according to his mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
Titus 3:5 . Thus they are
Saved, and called with a holy calling, not according to their works, but according to the divine purpose and grace which was given them in Christ Jesus before the world began,
2 Timothy 1:9 . "Who hath
Saved us and called us with a holy calling; not according to our works, but according to ms own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began; but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ,"
2 Timothy 1:9-10 . Nothing, however, is here said to favour the conclusion, that many others who were called by the Gospel, but refused, might not have been justified and glorified as well as they; nothing to distinguish this calling into common and effectual: and the very guilt which those are every where represented as contracting who despised the Gospel calling, shows that they reject a grace which is sufficient, and sincerely intended, to
Save them
Banquet - As this is undoubtedly the most natural and dignified posture, so it seems to
Save been universally adopted by the first generations of men; and it was not till after the lapse of many ages, and when degenerate man and lost much of the firmness of his primitive character, that he began to recline

Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs - Shem shall be glorified, and the Lord Himself will appear, and
Save men; evil spirits shall be trodden under foot, and Simeon shall arise (from the dead) (vi. He told an untruth to the merchants and again to the Egyptian officer, even when examined by scourging, to
Save his brethren’s honour; the Egyptian woman intervened to rescue and purchase him (xi
Vicarious Sacrifice - Only by a denial of His vocation in establishing the Kingdom of God could He have
Saved His life; only by what was impossible with Him—the forgetting of the will of God and the ceasing to love men. We conclude, then, that this important passage simply means that Jesus vicariously sacrificed His life in order to
Save men from the selfishness of sin. Evil is using the occasion of His voluntary, vicarious death as an opportunity for more violent manifestation, and the men He is trying to
Save are at work to put Him to death. If one walks in the light, that is, holds fellowship with God in righteousness and love, he is
Saved. By illuminating the world, Jesus
Saves the world
Mental Characteristics - That ‘love is blind’ is singularly false,
Save when the word is restricted to an unworthy meaning. At other times He would restate a problem to strip it of those adventitious difficulties with which it is enveloped in common minds; as when He met the unuttered question whether He would break the Law by healing on the Sabbath, by putting the inquiry, ‘Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? to
Save a life, or to kill?’ (
Mark 3:4)
Divinity of Christ - The disciples had been nurtured on a religious literature in which the whole national and individual future was seen blending in one anticipation, the coming of God to His people to deliver and
Save. Awakened by the sense of power in the inner life imparted by Christ, men came to understand what the evil is from which God seeks to
Save them, and what the good is which He seeks to impart to them
Fall - … Adam is therefore not the cause,
Save only of his own soul, but each one of us has been the Adam of his own soul’ (Charles’s translation in Apoc. -Although the writer holds the conviction that it is not necessary for the Christian theologian to try and
Save as much as he dare of the wreckage of the doctrine of the Fall, after the storm of literary and historical criticism has passed over it, a few sentences may be added in closing this article as to the relation of modern Christian thought to the doctrine
Old Testament (ii. Christ as Student And Interpreter of). - A similar expedient is carried out in the Twentieth Century NT,
Save that there quotations and reminiscences from the Apocryphal literature are also indicated. For instance, in
Luke 11:29-30 our Lord says that no sign shall be given to the men of His own generation
Save the sign of Jonah; ‘for even,’ He adds, ‘as Jonah became a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of Man be to this generation … the men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold a greater than Jonah is here

Save all ages, must have ‘passed through every age,’ and in the decade from 40 to 50 ‘a man begins to decline towards old age
Cross, Crucifixion - Mark emphasized the messianic meaning, using the taunts of the crowds to “save yourself” (
Mark 15:30-31 ) as an unconscious prophecy pointing to the resurrection
Scripture, Unity And Diversity of - How God can hate sin and love sinners,
Save some and consign others to eternal punishment, defies explanation in the minds of many sensitive people
Tabernacle - As we are taught in the Epistle to the Hebrews, the tabernacle was part of a great system of teaching by object-lessons, and of training the world to understand and receive the great truths which were to be revealed in Jesus Christ and thus really to
Save the Jews from sin By Jesus dimly seen in the future, as we clearly see him in the past
Flood, the - God's grace is revealed already before the flood in his directions for the building of the ark to
Save those faithful to him (
Genesis 6:14-21 ); and again after the flood in his covenant/promise never again to destroy the earth with a flood, even though human nature remained evil (
Genesis 8:20-22 ; 9:8-17 )
Repentance - Peter never refers,
Save by way of allusion, to his own repentance; and the long description of the stages previous to repentance and conversion in Augustine’s Confessions and Bunyan’s Grace Abounding would seem to be foreign to the spirit of the NT writers
Retribution (2) - In one sense we learn to do good, hoping for nothing again; or else in seeking to
Save our life we shall lose it
Thousand Years - Thus, "whosoever shall lose his life for Christ's sake (in will or deed) shall
Save it" (
Mark 8:35). "The nations of them which are

Matthew 11:27; cf
Star (2) - One influential motive at work in Matthew 2 seems to be a desire on the part of the Evangelist to suggest a likeness between the Divinely guided career of Moses, the instrument of Israel’s redemption from Egypt, and the Messianic Redeemer who
Saves His people from their sins. regards the episode of the visit of the Magi to render homage to the newborn King not so much in the light of a fulfilment of ancient prophecy, as a new prophecy ‘which indicates that the Messiah Jesus, who has been born to
Save His own people from their sins (
Matthew 1:21), will be sought out and honoured by heathen, while the leading representatives of the religious thought and worship of Israel ask no questions concerning Him, and leave it to the tyrant, who enslaves them, to concern himself about the true King of the Jews, and then only with the object of compassing His destruction

Sepulchre - Oftentimes caves were appropriated and used by them to

Disciple (2) - Within the groups the order of the names varies,

Apocrypha - She stated that God was going to act through her to
Save His people
Euchites - There is no evidence that the latter was a heretic
Save that his name has not been honoured with the prefix of saint; and his institution would scarcely have met with the success it did if it could have been represented as devised by a notorious Messalian to carry out the notions of his sect as to the duty of incessant prayer
Naaman - O son of sin and Satan, O child of wrath, wilt thou not submit thyself to be
Saved? Wilt thou not so much as wash thyself? Wilt thou not say there is a fountain opened for sin and for uncleanness like mine? And wilt thou not go down into it continually, saying without ceasing: O Holy God. Oh, able to
Save to the uttermost, wash me, Saviour, or I die! 'How,' asks the disciple in Jacob Behmen's Supersensual Life, 'How shall I be able to subsist in all this anxiety and tribulation so as not to lose the eternal peace?' And the Master answers; 'If thou dost once every hour throw thyself by faith beyond all creatures into the abysmal mercy of God, into the sufferings of our Lord, and into the fellowship of His intercession, and yieldest thyself fully and absolutely thereunto, then thou shalt receive grace from above to rule over death and the devil, and to subdue hell and the world under thee

Save him and his people's lives, and Elijah accompanied him to the king

Saved from his living tomb, gave a ray of hope to guilty Nineveh. Christ's death, entombment three days without corruption, and resurrection, is the grand proof of His Messiahship and of His power and will to

John, Gospel of (ii. Contents) - The author of this Gospel interposed his powerful influence to
Save Christianity from being either swamped in a mythology or sublimated into a theosophy. The Transfiguration is represented by the voice from heaven in

John 12:28; while the preceding verse (which should be printed as a question, ‘Shall I say, Father,
Save me from this hour?’) is intended to compensate us for the loss of the Agony in the Garden
Christ in Reformation Theology - ’ The Greek type of piety fed itself on the mysterious union of natures; the Incarnation was the central thought in Christianity, and salvation appeared to the Eastern Church as a species of diffusion of the Incarnation: men were
Saved when they were absorbed in the Divine. It was no mere semblance of a man who was now exalted at the Father’s right hand, but one who was bone of our bone, and flesh of our flesh, to whom no human experience,
Save sin, was foreign,—a boy who enjoyed his play and helped in little household duties, a man who shared the common lot of toil and weariness and temptation, a real man living a true human life under conditions not so far removed from our own.

Hermas, Known as the Shepherd - Then she reads to him out of her book, but of all she reads he can remember nothing
Save the last comforting sentence, and that all which preceded was terrible and threatening. ...
The literary merits of the work of Herman are of little importance compared with the fundamental question as to the date of the book and whether it claims to be an inspired document, the writer of which aspires to no literary merit,

Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch - But it is very improbable that Eusebius had no tradition

Methodists, Protestant - And the moment a penitent sinner believes this, God pardons and absolves him; and as soon as his pardon or justification is witnessed to him by the Holy Ghost, he is

Saved from all our uncleannesses?"
Ezekiel 36:29 . That by this term alone he rarely (if ever) means
Saved from all sin. "It is this: Whether we should expect to be

A. "There is only one condition previously required of those who desire admission into these societies, namely, A desire to flee from the wrath to come; to be

Save our own souls, and them that heard us; and the result of our consultations we set down to be the rule of our future practice
Sabbath - Abstention from the thirty-nine kinds of work specified by the Talmudists as forbidden (the number is evidently artificial, and probably not unconnected with ‘forty stripes
Save one,’
2 Corinthians 11:24) was by no means the whole of Sabbath observance
Eunomius, Bishop of Cyzicus - Little of his writing remains,
Save some few fragments preserved in the works of his theological adversaries
Ezra, the Book of - Their mention of Babylon was either to mislead the king as to the real repository of the decree, or more probably from ignorance of Cyrus' habit of living at Ecbatana, which ignorance Providence overruled to

Sympathy - Yet amid all this there stands out conspicuously the claim of the outcast, which He expressed Himself by saying that ‘the Son of Man was come to seek and to

Luke 19:10)
Baptize, Baptism - Paul insists that none are
Saved by their own good works, not even by the good work of baptism, but only by faith in Christ (
Romans 3:20 ; 4:4-5 ;
Galatians 3:2,11 ;
Ephesians 2:8 ). The strong declaration "baptism that now
Saves you" recalls
Mark 16:16 as well as Peter's "command" to baptize (
Acts 10:48 ). At Pentecost Peter had urged his hearers to
Save themselves by baptism from "this crooked generation. Now Peter cites Noah and his pitiful minority amid another evil generation; only eight souls
Saved by the flood from God's judgment upon that sinful age
James - In
Luke 9:55-56, "ye know not what manner of spirit ye are (not the fiery judicial spirit which befitted Elijah's times, but the spirit of love so as to win men to salvation, is the spirit of Me and Mine), for the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives but to

Reality - —Notwithstanding every inducement to
Save the credit of the disciples first chosen by the Master, far from concealing the faults and perversities of those men, they tell the story of them with simple candour, this being in their view essential to an accurate understanding of the circumstances connected with the early beginnings of the faith
Trust - And even so our faith would not be ‘saving,’ unless God freely purposed to

Unpardonable Sin - It is impossible to suppose that he means that a Christian cannot be forgiven if he falls into sin, however grievous, or that Jesus is unable to

Individuality - ...
Yet a free Protestant code and a smaller creed do not necessarily give us a true and characteristic faith, or

Save His people
Joab - Joab ran Absalom three times through the heart right in the teeth of David's command to spare and
Save Absalom alive. Those two bad men were, each in his own wicked way, of such rich and indispensable use to David, if David was to be searched out, hunted down, laid low, and
Saved at last
Nabal - Nabal would rather have died of David's sword than have been
Saved from David's sword by the understanding and the interposition and the intercession of his wife. Hear those churlish men as they pass by and wag their heads, and rail at David's Son cast out upon the cross from among men, while, all the time, He dies to
Save and bless them
Atonement - If it then be true, that the release of offending man from future punishment, and his restoration to the divine favour, ought, for the interests of mankind themselves, and for the instruction and caution of other beings, to be so bestowed, that no license shall be given to offence;—...
that God himself, whilst he manifests his compassion, should not appear less just, less holy, than he really is;—that his authority should be felt to be as compelling, and that disobedience should as truly, though not unconditionally, subject us to the deserved penalty, as though no hope of forgiveness had been exhibited;—we ask, On what scheme,
Save that which is developed in the New Testament, are these necessary conditions provided for? Necessary they are, unless we contend for a license and an impunity which shall annul all good government in the universe, a point for which no reasonable man will contend; and if so, then we must allow that there is strong internal evidence of the truth of the doctrine of Scripture, when it makes the offer of pardon consequent only upon the securities we have before mentioned. " All the ends of government are here answered—no license is given to offence,—the moral law is unrepealed,—a day of judgment is still appointed,—future and eternal punishments still display their awful sanctions,—a new and singular display of the awful purity of the divine character is afforded,—yet pardon is offered to all who seek it; and the whole world may be
Saved. "While we were yet sinners Christ died for us; much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be
Saved from wrath through him: for if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be
Saved by his life,"
Romans 5:8-10

Mission - It is the function of Jesus to be the King (Psalms 2), the Son of Man (Psalms 8,
Daniel 7:13-14), the Servant of Jehovah (Isaiah 42, 53), the founder a New Covenant (
Jeremiah 31:31-34); and thus to glorify God (

John 12:32) and by giving Himself as a sacrifice (
Mark 10:45, John 1:29;
John 6:51;
Matthew 6:9-108;
John 12:24). The way of sacrifiee is thus the way whereby the Saviour gives and the
Saved receive (
Matthew 16:24-25). The New Covenant (
Jeremiah 31:31-34) is connected with the shedding of the Lord’s blood (
Luke 22:20), and it is necessary that the
Saved should participate in this fundamental law of Christ’s being (
John 6:53-57). As all departments of life were to be purified and enriched by His example and teaching, so all men were to feel that they could be
Saved by His grace

Baxterianism - " But the peculiarity of Baxter's scheme will be seen from the following farther extracts:—...
"Though Christ died equally for all men, in the aforesaid law sense, as he satisfied the offended legislator, and as giving himself to all alike in the conditional covenant; yet he never properly intended ...
or purposed the actual justifying and saving of all, nor of any but those that come to be justified and

Temple - The rancour and virulence they had conceived against him for this speech, was not softened by all the affecting circumstances of that wretched death they saw him die; even as he hung upon the cross, with triumph, scorn, and exultation, they upbraided him with it, contemptuously shaking their heads, and saying, "Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
Save thyself! If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross!"
Matthew 27:40
Paul - “For I determined not to know anything among you,

Save and preserve Israel
Timothy And Titus Epistles to - Piety has the sure promise of life here and hereafter; but the pursuit is arduous, and the goal will be attained only as we set our hope on the living God, who will
Save the believer unto eternal life. Christian virtues are to be cultivated among the faithful as a protection against error, and the disputations of false teachers are to be avoided, though in a gentle spirit, in the hope that some of those who are in error may be granted repentance and be

Save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him’;
John 4:34, ‘My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work’;
John 5:17, ‘My Father worketh hitherto, and I work’;
John 8:28, ‘I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak’;
John 14:10, ‘The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works
Election - -Election, in the teaching of the apostles, is the method by which God gives effect to His eternal purpose to redeem and
Save mankind; so that the elect are those who are marked out in God’s purpose of grace from eternity as heirs of salvation. The unconditional character of the Divine choice, emphasized in these statements of the Apostle, is affirmed again when, writing to Timothy, he bids him suffer for the gospel ‘according to the power of God, who
Saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose of grace which was given in Christ Jesus before times eternal’ (
2 Timothy 1:9). When Jews in numbers come to seek as their own the righteousness and goodness which they see thus manifested in the lives of Christians, and are stirred up to envy and emulation by the contemplation of them, the time will be at hand when all Israel-Israel as a nation-shall be
Saved. No countenance is given in the Early Church to the idea that ‘the elect’ may live as they list and at last be
Saved, ‘Let us cleave to the innocent and the righteous,’ says Clement of Rome, ‘for such are the elect of God’ (op. 3), ‘that the elect of God are

James Epistle of - ), ‘the implanted word, which is able to
Save your souls’ (
James 1:21; cf. (1) In denying that a man is

Philanthropy - He limits the ministry of His disciples to the villages of Judaea, bidding them avoid the villages of the Samaritans (
Matthew 10:5); and in His interview with the Syrophœnician woman (
Mark 7:26) He not only repeats the limitation given to His disciples as binding also upon Himself, declaring that He was not sent
Save to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, but speaks of the woman as a dog, and claims for the Jews that they are the children of the household
Teaching - Paul’s declaration to the Corinthians that he determined not to know anything among them ‘save Jesus Christ and him crucified’ (
1 Corinthians 2:2) was true of himself not only as a preacher, but also as a teacher
Life And Death - James says, ‘He which converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall
Save a soul from death and shall cover a multitude of sins’ (
James 5:20), death is used to denote the punitive consequences of sin and the state in which man lies as condemned on account of it
Temple (2) - The particular part of the temple referred to cannot always be ascertained with certainty, especially in the case of the Men’s Court (Court of the Israelites), but presumably the mention of ‘teaching in the temple’ would usually refer to Christ teaching the Jews (in view of such passages as ‘I am not sent
Save unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel,’
Matthew 15:24), in which case the women, according to Jewish custom, would not be present

Asceticism (2) - We meet with an example of this class in the Banus, mentioned by Josephus, who lived in the desert, clothed himself with the leaves of trees, ate nothing
Save the natural produce of the soil, and bathed day and night in cold water for purity’s sake (Josephus Vit. He even goes so far as to say that, humanly speaking, it is impossible for a rich man to be

Matthew 19:26, Mark 10:27, Luke 18:27)
Jesus Christ - He is called Christ (anointed, ) because he is anointed, furnished, and sent by God to execute his mediatorial office; and Jesus (Saviour, ) because he came to

Ephraim (4) the Syrian - When Basil had laid his hands upon him being suddenly endowed with the knowledge of Syriac he said to Ephrem in that tongue "O Lord bid him arise," upon which Ephrem answered in Greek "Save me and raise me up O God by Thy grace
Philippians Epistle to the - the Christians generally, but especially those of Caesar’s household) know anything of the letter
Save that it was being sent
Corinthians, First And Second, Theology of - Although the crucifixion of Jesus is nonsense and the epitome of weakness to the non-Christian, it is the wisdom and power of God to those who are being
Saved. According to the apostle, the person who is in Christ is
Saved (the age to come is already present) but that salvation is not complete (the age to come is not yet consummated). ...
The term "save" also occurs in
1 Corinthians 9:22 with reference to those who embrace Christ (cf. In
1Corinthians 15:1-2Paul reminds his audience that their salvation is based on the gospel, "the gospel which you received By this gospel you are
Saved
Missions - In connexion with the visit of the Greeks, He uttered the pregnant and impressive prophecy, ‘I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me’ (
John 12:32); and a little further on in the same chapter we find the words, ‘I came not to judge the world, but to
Save the world’ (
John 12:47). He quotes the words of Joel in explanation of what had happened at Pentecost, saying, It shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, that I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh’ (
Acts 2:17), And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be
Saved’ (
Acts 2:21). The great declaration, Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
Saved’ (
Acts 4:12), is meaningless, if there was not behind it a consciousness of the universal character of Christianity, and, as a consequence, the consciousness of a universal mission
Herod - But external prosperity did not
Save him from internal troubles, the fruits of his own lust and insatiable cruelty. Unimportant as the event seemed to the world, the murder of the innocents was the consummation of his guilt before God, and places him among the foremost of Satan's and the world's foretold (
Jeremiah 31:15) representative adversaries of the Lord and His church, answering to the Pharaoh who oppressed Christ's type, Israel, murdering the male children in the nation's infancy in order to stifle the nation's first beginnings; but in vain, for God secured the nation's Exodus from Egypt by the tyrant's overthrow, just as subsequently He
Saved Jesus and destroyed Herod, and in due time "called His (antitypical) Son out of Egypt" (
Matthew 2:15; compare
Hosea 11:1). ...

Religious Experience - ...
That Jesus Christ was the Saviour every man needed, One who could
Save up to and beyond the limit of the man’s best hope, was the common thought of those who most thoughtfully observed His influence and reported His words. ’ In the Synoptics the command is ‘Come,’ and if you endure to the end you ‘shall be
Saved. Paul the central interrogation is, ‘Have you received the Holy Ghost?’—if so, you ‘have been
Saved’ (cf
Romans, Theology of - 16-18): On the positive side, the gospel is powerful to
Save everyone who has faith, Jew and Gentile alike; but it also has a negative cut like the sword of
Hebrews 4:12 , for those who suppress the truth in unrighteousness receive the gospel as the wrath of God against their ungodliness. The believer is accordingly
Saved by the twofold work of Christ: in his life of faithful perfection, which is imputed to the Christian, and in his death and resurrection, which remove the penalty of eternal separation from God. Whether it is Jacob over Esau, Moses over Pharaoh, or now the Gentiles over Paul's own kind, it is by God's sovereign grace that even a remnant is
Saved. Since "all"
in 5:18-21 and
in 11:32 does not imply every single member of a group, so here "all Israel" in context most likely means the whole (unspecified) remnant of Israel will be
Saved, the point being, against Gentile arrogance, that God still has a place in his sovereign plan for Paul's ethnic people
James And John, the Sons of Zebedee - The Matthaean account is practically identical with the Marcan,

John 1:29 , cf
Childhood - The writer has nothing to tell
Save the story of the Visit to the Temple, and contents himself for the rest with simple general statements in Hebraic phraseology that irresistibly reminds us of what is said of ‘the child Samuel’ (
1 Samuel 2:21;
1 Samuel 2:26)
Birth of Christ - Matthew (" translation="">Matthew 1:21) emphasizes the meaning of the word Jesus, ‘for it is he that shall

Saved St. Luke’s accuracy, so well attested in other respects, would have
Saved him from making an initial and needless error, and that the least consideration would have prevented him from connecting such an event as an enrolment of the people with the birth of the Messiah at Bethlehem, unless it was true
Anger (2) - ’ The objects of Christ’s anger here are the people in the synagogue, who maintained an obstinate and prejudiced silence when He asked them, ‘Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good or to do evil, to
Save life or to kill?’ What roused His anger was partly their inhumanity, which eared nothing for the disablement of the man with the withered hand, but even more, perhaps, the misrepresentation of God of which they were guilty, when in His honour (as they would have it) they justified inhumanity on the Sabbath day
Oracle - The Pythian declared, that Minerva, the protectress of Athens, had endeavoured in vain to appease the wrath of Jupiter; yet that Jupiter, in complaisance to his daughter, was willing the Athenians should

Jesus Christ - ) ("Jehovah salvation"); for "He Himself (autos , not merely like Joshua He is God's instrument to

Saved His Son by commanding the mother and Joseph to flee to Egypt, the land of the type Israel's sojourn, when fleeing from famine, and the land from whence God called His Son Israel (
Hosea 11:1;
Matthew 2:15); not by miracle, but by ordinary escaping from persecution, as sharing His people's trials (

Saved. ...
‘Whosoever,' then, says the creed, ‘will' thus ‘be
Saved,' will be desirous to secure the glorious promises of the Gospel, must pursue it upon the terms which that Gospel proposes, and particularly must embrace the doctrines which it reveals.
